how can i erase previous searches so that they don't show up when i type in the first letter again?

Answer 1

to delete previous search field entries, there are several approaches depending on the search field you are deleting from. for example, search fields on such internet websites; Yahoo, Google, etc., all you need to do it double-click an empty search box field and then hover your mouse pointer over the previous entry you want to erase, and press delete on your keyboard or right-click and select "delete" from the small dialog box. for other programs such as Windows Media Player, digital camera picture transfer wizards and your computer's own Search program field, i have get discovered a simple way or a way at all for some programs on how to remove past search entries and values. when i search for a certain artist in my Windows Media Player Search Engine, the entry is up there. and i have been unsuccessful at removing them. maybe someone on this forum can better aid you in your problem, and my problem also.

Answer 2

Yeah...just use CCleaner and let it do all the hard work. It'll get rid of your browser history in IE and Firefox and search history. Download it here for free; there';s even a tutorial to show you how it works.

Once installed, go to Options>Settings> Secure deletion and choose secure file deletion, 3 or 7 pass. And don't worry about scare stories concerning deleted files being "recovered"; unless some freak is going to use expensive forensic recovery techniques on your hard drive, they aren't going to recover much.
