waterrabbit1104 answered Sunday January 8 2006, 11:11 pm: Well, it depends what browser your using. I'm going to assume internet explorer. When you start to type in a search query, it tries to automatically fill it out for you, correct?
If so, go to "tools", choose "internet options." Go to the "content" tab. Look down, and find "autocomplete". click the button, and uncheck the button next to forms.
Alin75 answered Sunday January 8 2006, 10:34 pm: Ok, bear with me I am using a Danish version of Windows XP so some of the translations may not be exact. Anyways open Internet Explorer and go to the top to a menu that (i hope) is called "functions"- should be the one between "favourites" and "help". Go to the very bottom and press on "internet settings" (or something similar). Amongst the menus at the top there should be one called "content"- it should be one of the first. Click it and it should give you a page that near the bottom has an option called "autocomplete". Click that and you will get all the Windows autocomplete options (including webaddress completion, typing completion etc). There is a button that clears all the history. Also you can turn off the options.
Alternatively, if you want better internet security you can also download an internet eraser (just search on google and you will get many, some with free trials, some that are totally free). [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]

Erase all the writing and click off. Then the next time it will just be blank. I think that is the only way, sorry I cant help much more!
