When I do search queries on my computer.....using the
search engine.....and I want to clear out the listing so
it does not come up each time I type in the first letter
to look for future queries....How do I delete listings of
previous queries? I cannot seem to do this. I appreciate
any help I can get with this question. Thanks
 
Hi Kevin,

A small utility I created that clears certain History Lists

Clear Recent File Lists - Includes Search and Run Menu (Line 41)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Clear Search History under Search (Line 24)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Manual Edit:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru

To prevent keeping a history altogether, right click ACMru/Permissions/Deny
all users and groups listed.

Alternatively, IE/Search/Change Preferences/Turn AutoComplete Off

answers to any questions that I have in the future....it did take care of my
problem/question.....Thanks Again, Kevin
