have just been searching for dh's xmas pressie and have typed lots of stuff into the google bar and other search sites and now whenever you out the first letter in it brings up a list of possibilities

id there a way that i can get rid of this as i would like it to be a surprise also when my sister comes round etc i don;t want everyone to know what i've been looking at

isn't that a security issue

hit tools, select browsing history then select what you want to delete. I normally delete temp files and browsing history.

Tools - clear private data (that is firefox)

Geeky DH says,

"Yep, in Tools?Internet Options in Internet Explorer theres a tab called General. On here there should be a button to clear browsing history. She needs to clear the Form Data, or just clear the whole browsing history but this will get rid of everything."

Hope this helps!

hit cntrl+shift+delete
and when it comes up clear everything except passwords

McDreamy · 01/10/2007 11:11

You need to delete your cookies

Tools
Internet options
Delete cookies

Hope that works

newlifenewname · 01/10/2007 11:11

cache

McDreamy · 01/10/2007 11:12

Sorry not cookies! as below but press clear history

mustsleep · 01/10/2007 11:14

the tools browser history thingy did work but just not on the google toolbar have set it not to suggest previous searches by going into the settings on the google bar itself

cheers
