Help Please

[Greg]

When I am using a search engine like Yahoo, I type a
search word into the search window. When I start typing
the first letter of the word, a drop down box shows all
the recent searches that start with that letter. HOW DO
I DELETE THESE THINGS....I DO NOT WANT THEM TO SHOW. I
HAVE SEARCHED AND SEARCHED AND SEARCHED AND I AM UNABLE
TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.

PLEASE HELP.

THANK YOU

Hi! You need to go the the tools menu, then select
internet options. Click on the content tab, and then the
AutoComplete button in the bottom area. There are then
options for when you want autocomplete to be used - de-
select 'Forms' and you won't have the problem you're
having. to clear the entries already in the forms, click
the clear forms button.

Hi Greg - To delete Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and download
and install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelSearchMRU.inf

Note: this does not remove entries entered via AutoComplete. To remove
hidden AutoComplete entries in History:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm#AutoComplete


IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are CLOSED before you do
the install of this(these) .inf files.

A nice alternative just for selective or all Address (not Search) history
maintenance is EditURLs, here: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/ Here also,
you must close all instances of IE6 for the deletions to "take".
