Delete search bar history


 
 

Please HELP

I'm hoping someone can help me with this...I have to share my computer with
someone and need to know how to delete my google, yahoo and explorer search
bars and history. Also, as soon as I start to type something it shows
everyone with me what I've searched for. How do I stop it from automaticlly
filling in these drop down menus?

Hello,

You can also delete the search history by deleting the IE7 browsing history.

Internet Explorer Browsing History

For AutoComplete:
In IE7, click in Tools, Internet Options, Content tab, then click Settings under AutoComplete. Just uncheck everything to stop it.

CCleaner -

<http://www.ccleaner.com>

Note, uncheck Yahoos toolbar during installation.

Note: uncheck Windows Defender in the *Applications* Tab.

Do the scans with all the check marks Âșn the *Windows* Tab

I would suggest staying on the side of caution... Stay the heck away from
running *'Issues'* Tab

"Delete" under browsing history. from there you can delete everything or pick
and choose.
