techie question - deleting toolbar history

[hockeymum]

right, I know how to delete my history from the history button, but I need to delete the internet explorer bit where you type any web addresses into. Dont want dh to know where I got his christmas present!

TIA

go to tools on browser, options, and privacy - then you can turn off search bar.. thats on firefox - but must be similar for other browsers - hth

for Internet explorer it is auto complete you need to disable -

that isnt an option on mine

anyone else able to help - i really want to surprise him this year

try again- on tools, go to internet options, content, auto complete and disable web pages thats on my internet explorer...

if you start to type in the Google box does all your visited sites pop up with an option to 'clear history'?

mine is IE7 and it's taking some getting used to!

lucycat sometimes clearing history dosent clear the problem....

I thought it was tools, internet options and in the temporary files bit next to delete cookies, it says delete files... i think that clears it.... just trying it on mine

I've got IE 7 (and it's a pain in the bum)and it's Tools, Internet Options and on the General Tab, delete browsing history. Then you get options for history, passwords, form history etc.

told you it was a bit tricky!

yeh just delete everything! you'll probably have to log on here again though - I'm always doing that by mistake!

hmmn, I dont have a delete browsing history button, confused.

Have deleted cookies, files and made it not store history -0 - but the websites are still there in the address bar.
HELP!

Oh and yes, it did delete my name on here

try going to control panel, internet options then delete files - that's just worked for me....

did it work?

hmmn, no nothing is working - it's all still there under address. I might have to ask him because I know he's deleted his.

Thanks for all the advice girls
