delete recent search history

[mjpolito]

XP Pro serv pack 2 - IE 6.0.2900.2180

A lot of websites have a "search bar".

When I go to pretty much =any= of these site & begin typing in a search phrase - IE will try to "auto complete" my string based on other searches I've done - in other websites.

I need to clear this. Sometimes I'll have someone at my desk with me - if they are watching me do a search - they will get a glimpse of past searches I've done - not good.

Tried clearing cache, TIF, clear history, delete temp files etc....no good.

Try this Microsoft website:

See if that helps,

Assuming you're doing this at work, be aware that whoever runs the system probably knows exactly what you are doing.

Hi
I purchased a program called history kill 2005, didn't cost much and fixes all of your history issues. It comes with a pop up killer as well but I find it is a pain in the arse so I turned it off permanently.
