         Appeal No. 2006-1492                                                       
         Application No. 09/884,489                                                 




         is disabled.  However, in HistoryKill, the session for the user            
         identified on the Screen Capture on page 1 is disabled, or                 
         deleted, so that the history of where that user has been surfing           
         is erased.                                                                 
              That would be enough to defeat the instant claimed subject            
         matter.  While appellants clearly intend for there to be a                 
         plurality of sessions and that a user may identify one such                
         session for disablement, the broad language of instant claim 1,            
         for example, does not require that.  The claimed “identified               
         session” may very well be the single session erased or disabled            
         in HistoryKill.  Thus, when one enters a user name and checks one          
         of the boxes, e.g., “History file,” in the Screen Capture of               
         HistoryKill, and then clicks on the “Kill” button, all of the              
         history file will be deleted.  But “all” of this history file              
         would be the claimed “identified session.”  An identified session          
         may constitute, broadly, an entire session.  Since HistoryKill             
         employs a user ID to effectuate the disablement, or deletion, it           
         is clear that the identified session is “based on the selected             
         user identification, as claimed.                                           

                                         7
