Wayne, he has already disabled AutoComplete. Even with AutoComplete disabled
the web history will still be visible. There used to be a problem with
Windows XP too whereby, if you set the history to zero days the current
day's web browsing was still visible. As both my AutoComplete and History
are disabled (well the history is set to zero days) even my daily web
excursions are still available for anyone to see. My only remedy is, as I
said in my earlier post, CCleaner.
