To clear the history open "Internet Options" under "Tools" at the top of internet explorer.  Under the "General" tab click on "Clear History". This will clear all history for that day only.  To clear all history for the past week or more you must click on the icon "history" which will open a window to the left of your internet explorer screen. "The icon is to the right of the favorites icon.  This procedure allows you to choose specifically what you want to delete or keep.  Just right click on what you want to delete and choose delete.  The option  also allows you to "expand and collapse the subject link.  Here you can delete an entire day up to an entire week.  You can also turn off "auto complete" to keep internet explorer from trying to assume what your typing in the address and serch bar.  To do this go to open internet explorer, tools, internet options, click on the content tab and then click on auto complete, uncheck the box "web addresses" and "User names and passwords on forms" then click on "Clear Forms" choose ok. and do the same for "Clear Passwords"\n\n   Oh yeah, "FYI" there is no need to try to figure out how to find this hidden folder "local settings" when you can do everything you need to accomplish from internet explorer.\n\nHope this helps out.

Yahoo! Toolbar will remember your recent searches so that you can easily find the things you searched for previously. However, there are several ways you can clear the search history in the toolbar. \n\nIf you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Clear Recent Searches" \nIf you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the web, but to automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nSelect "Auto clear recent searches when exiting IE" so that there is a checkmark in the box next to it. \nClick "OK" \nIf you want to disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following: \n\nClick on the Pencil menu \nSelect "Toolbar Options" \nClick "Remember Recent Searches" so that there is not a checkmark in the box next to it \nClick "OK" \nNote: Yahoo! Toolbar for Mozilla Firefox currently does not have the ability to disable the search history or automatically clear it on exit. Those features will be added in a future release. \n\nIf you have disabled the search history in Yahoo! Toolbar but are still seeing items suggested when you type, your browser is saving that information. For Internet Explorer, check your options under Tools>Internet Options>AutoFill. For Mozilla Firefox, check Tools>Options>Privacy>Saved Form Information.
