I was searching my pc with windows explorer using search companion (I think
it's called that it's what you seach for files on your from the start up menu
or windows explorer).
I was searching for a password and typed most of the password which I had
remembered, but unfortunately it remembers previous searches so when someone
does a searchand types in the first letter of my password it lists amongst
other previous searches my password, which I do not want people to see. It
is the
search history of this (or all searches is ok too if I can simply delete
all) this search that I wish to delete or clear
because if someone uses the search facility on my pc now and they are
searching for something beginning with the same letter my password will be
shown as one of the previous searched for items.
