In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Content tab.
Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.
Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options you want to use

Or, in your case, unclick the options you don't want to use.

what and where is the "suggestion" box?

there is "address" box on toolbar and "search" box on
google toolbar. never heard of a "suggestion" box.

google toolbar has separate delete history button under
the google "small triangle".

Go to Tools,Internet options then click on the content tab
and click on auto complete then clear forms.

Jack,
These are coming from the index.dat file in the History folder.
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Hope this helps,

--Jack, what you're describing is not the "history" that

you're trying to get rid of. It's a feature in internet
explorer called "Auto Complete". If you uncheck this box,
it won't do it anymore. I believe it's under the "tools"
function. Hope this helps! Lisa>.
