Clearing the Search Files history

[Paul]

How do you clear your search history from the "Search for
files or folders" option in the start button? in other
words, when you go to search something new and type a
letter, the dialogue box shows you all prior search terms
that had been used that alphabetically match your new
search string. this is not good if you dont want another
user to see what you may have searched for in the past,
i.e. a medical condition term etc.
thanks

Try deleting the numeric-named Reg_Sz string values found at;

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer
Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}\FilesNamedMRU

(Another user wont see them anyway unless you're letting them use your logon
username and password.)
