Clients browser does not belongs to you. you got the inner rectangle for your application only! You have no right (and for most on ability) to play around with user's preference...
If you want to prevent user to enter your application directly (I believe you mean that by 'manually'), than search for some programming techniques to do so...

Hi,

You are right.
The "Recent Page" button(Dropdown) which is next to Back/Frwd buttons. It list the recently visited pages such as History.

Using this link enduser can navigate into pages which are recently visited . From our Asp.net application, enduser need to restrict to navigate manually using browser options.
Enduser only can navigate using the available Links/menues inside the application.

I need to disable this Recent Page button or override this functionality like do not navigate / removed the history by using window.location.remove(URL). This "Recent Page" list could not be removed until close the browser.

Hope you are clear now.
