I'm not asking about yahoo tool bar.  For example, if i type letter 'a' in the search box at yahoo home page; below the search box another small window opens and it shows my previous search words starts from the letter 'a'.  So how do i clear the history of my search words in the yahoo home page search tab? (Note: i've tried >tools>internet options>clear history)

yes, clearing ur cookies, temporary internet files and history usually does the trick. or if u want u can completely disable the auto-complete function. for this go to internet options->content->Auto-complete and clear all the checkboxes. this way it wont ever show u all the words starting with 'a' or anything else, anywhere.

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.
