Dude, it's NOT the "Clear History" button you want.  Read ALL the steps below CAREFULLY this time...\n\nIf you have Internet Explorer as your browser, you may stop the search history from being generated by following the instructions below:\n\n1. Select the the 'Tools' menu in Internet Explorer.\n2. Select 'Internet Options', then select the 'Content' tab.\n3. Under Personal information, click on the 'AutoComplete' box.\n\nOn the AutoComplete Settings window you can click the 'Clear Forms' box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history.

Yes, today when I started my computer, I saw it on my desktop. I don't know how it came here. I request you to take it back please.\n\nPerhaps, it came here when due to some technical problem, My Computer & Your 'My Computer' got connected & your computer just came here.\n\nI will take good care of it until you come & take it back.\n\nGood One :-)

hiding something?\n\nTools>Internet Options>History>Clear History\n\nNot enough...\nTools>Internet Options>Temporary Internet Files>Delete Cookies and Delete Files\n\nThis should be good for most.\nIf they know more than this ... you are hit.

Hmmm - is it her computer? Then why is it your issue? \n\nCould be she has imaginary friends or knows you pry and doesn't want you to know the names of who she is really listing. Either way, if it's her computer it's her business.

tools> internet options> Content tab>Auto complete and uncheck the boxes and then click clear passwords button, and clear forms button. \n\nIf you want to keep it so that passwords and forms are remebered, then just click the clear form button after each xmas gift search and then it will clear the history, but still allow passwords to be savd and searches in the future. (if you do not uncheck the boxes)\n\nHowever, I suggest unchecking all boxes anyway for security and privacy reasons

Using Explorer find the location of your Favorites folder (e.g. C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;<your username>&#92;Favorites) within that folder will be a sub-folder named Links. Select the Links folder and right-click and select Properties, check the Hidden checkbox and click OK.\n\nFrom now on the Links folder should be hidden from the Favorites list. This works for any other folder or link on the favorites menu as well. \n\nNote: The Links folder must be manually deleted from the favorites menu. This tweak stops it being automatically recreated.

It is a history button that tells you the sites you have visited on that day.\n\nYou click and the drop down window gives you the history.\n\nOn any one item that you don't want to remain there ; you right click and delete .\n\nIt will not mess up with your computer.

Well, that depends upon which browser you are using.  The two most popular are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, so I will give explanations for how to clear past search information in both.\n\nIn Internet Explorer, you must click on the "Tools" option at the top of the browser (between "Favorites" and "Help").  A menu will appear.  Click on the "Content" tab at the top of this menu.  In this tab, you will see, under the Personal Information section, a button that says "AutoComplete".  Click on it and uncheck the "Forms" box.  If you want to get rid of AutoComplete for web addresses and user name and password forms, uncheck those too.  You may also want to clear saved data.  You can do that on that menu as well.\n\nFor Firefox, click the Tools option as above (except this time it is between "Bookmarks" and "Help" instead of "Favorites" and "Help").  Go to "Options".  A menu will appear as above.  Then click on the "privacy" button.  After that, click on the "Saved Forms" tab.  Uncheck the "Save information I enter in forms and the Search bar" box and clear saved forms data.

Deleting your history and/or cookies will NOT delete your search history, you need to do the following:\n\nTools, internet Options, Content, Autocomplete..\n\nThen clear forms\nand clear passwords if you want.\n\nIf you dont want it to remember the next lot you type in, then Turn It OFF as well.

Make sure to "sign-out" every time you use your account...sometimes your PC will hold on to certain information and act on it. Also, when you sign in again, I would go in under the "secure" mode just to be safe! Also, go to your "Tools" menu, then "internet options...next, click on "clear history" as well as "delete cookies" and also "delete files"...these are all temporary internet files that your computer hast setup while you were surfing the web! They should be cleaned out often to avoid situations like you are having! Hope this helps!
