When I start typing something at, say, Google, it gives a whole list of things I have previously searched. How do I get rid of these?

★★ DISABLE AUTOCOMPLETE ★★
◙ Internet Explorer
1. From Internet Explorer, choose "Tools" then "Internet Options".
2. From the "Internet Options" multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, select the "Content" tab.
3. Click the "AutoComplete" button.
4. Uncheck everything.
5. Click the "Clear Forms" button.
6. Click the "Clear Passwords" button.
7. Press "OK" to close the dialog boxes.
◙ NOTE: AutoComplete may not stay off completely because some webmasters have autocomplete="on" in the form tag in their web forms. If you come to one of these and you can't get the AutoComplete to leave you alone while you type something in to the form. Simply paste the text in from a wordprocessor or notepad and it won't bother you.

Open Internet Explorer
Select Tools from the menu
Select Interner Options
Click the Clear History button
The list is now clear
To prevent it from filling in the future
Click on the Advance tab
Near the bottom on the Browsing section find "Use inline Autocomplete"
Uncheck it

Go to Settings, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, Internet Options, Content, Auto Complete and then take off all those ticks in the first window. Hope that helps.

Just download CCleaner - it's free and easy to use. It will clean your browser and the google toolbar too. Better than fiddling around with different settings.

Type an "a". The drop down appears. Delete them all one at a time. Then go through the alphabet. Pain isn't it?
