Can somebody please tell me how to delete some things that i typed in, for
example, search boxes on some pages?
They appear even after I clear internet history and delete all history
folders.
Thanx

Lol, this sounds like an emergency. This somewhat depends on the program you
are talking about. For Internet Explorer pages you would looking for the the
content tab in Internet Options in the control panel. Click on auto complete
and clear forms. I believe this should get it. Search boxes for programs
like Real Player have separate areas within the program.

Thanks,
John

From IE Help...

To delete Autocomplete entries from the Address bar list

[[The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web
addresses, forms, and passwords. To delete entries from the Address bar, you
must clear your History folder. You cannot clear individual entries from the
list of saved entries.

1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Under History, click Clear History.

Notes
When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove
an item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing
the DELETE key. ]]

Clear IE History, AutoComplete, Clear the TIF, Clear the Run MRU, Typed
URL's
and Clear List:

XP Start Menu:
Right click the Start button | Properties | Customize button | Advanced tab
| Recent Documents | Clear List.

Classic Start Menu:
Right click the Start button | Properties | Customize button | Clear button

Clear button
[[Removes the list of recently accessed documents, programs, and Web sites
from the Documents menu.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.
