Search | For Files or Folders ... auto-completion

[Oak7]

When I click Start | Search | For Files or Folders
then in the "Containing text:" box I type the word "full" I get the word
"fuch" when "fu" is typed. How can I remove "fuch" from the auto-complete
list? (Of course, it is not the word "fuch" which is why I'd like to remove
it.) Thanks!

This used to drive me crazy, too; but it's really a pretty easy fix. As soon
as the auto-completed word or list appears, just highlight (without clicking)
the word that you want to remove, then hit the delete key! BTW, this also
works in the "To:" field in Outlook.
Have a nice day!
