If we search for a particular file or folder by using the 'find files and folders' the file name entered is stored for quick reference the next time.If another person sits on the computer he is able to see previous 'finds' by clicking on the drop down menu.is it possible to clear previous 'find' entries made on the computer
 
right click on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. go to properties start menu programs tab under documents menu click clear.
 
I think you'll have to clear these entries from the registry.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc Find Spec MRU and delete the entries you don't want visible.
