is there a way to view your search history (from the XP search not an
explorer search)? If so is there a way to clear this?
 
Hi Joe,

The search history is located in the registry. To view the list go to
Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key and click on the subfolders
of ACMru:
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.

Here a utility that will automate the removing of the search history.
