Question Posted Tuesday March 15 2005, 8:49 pm

How do you make all that stuff that appears when you type in stuff in a box like on Google? There's so much of them on my computer and I can't get it to go away. I deleted the cookies in my Temporary Internet Files, I deleted my Temporary Internet Files,and I deleted my history but it still won't go away. How can I make it go away? Usually I'm good with computers but I just can't figure it out! Help!

~K~

You type something in and other stuff you've typed before appears in a drop down menu. Hope that helps you see what I mean. .

click on the box and wait until all the stuff you look up pops up and then press the delete button not the backspace and it should all go away. hope this helps

If you use a Gecko based browser, there should be a way to clear that sort of thing. In Firefox, it's under tools->options->privacy->form information.

If you're using IE5, go get Firefox. Unless you're using OS X, in which case go get Safari. IE has really fallen out of use as a modern browser, as Microsoft can no longer update it significantly. It also has more security holes than a swiss cheese, but that doesn't concern most people.

press the down arrow and then the delete button (not the backspace), then just keep alternating the two to get rid of all of them :)

well, I'm not sure what you're talking about..
the drop down menus [ i have a mac ] are usually
in the finder... so if you have the menu in the finder then you should just be able to drag it to the trash. But if your not a mac user i'm terribly sorry.. i tried..
.. really hope i helped.
