get rid of saved things
You know how if you type something on like the search bar on google and say you put "L" then a whole bunch of words that you were looking up with the letter "L" drop down?
How can you get rid of every saved thing you typed and how can you make it stop saving that?
And is there away to delete the websites on the drop down list on the adress bar?

To delete the sites you've visited click Tools at the top of your screen go to Internet Options and clear the history.
As for the drop down menus- place the mouse over one and hit the delete button on your keyboard.
This way you can pick what you want to get rid of.

Clearing your history, cookies, and temporary files will get rid of it, but it takes awhile and website will load slower after that. So, when you type something in google and the huge list comes down, move the curser over the one you want to delete so its highlited. Then press the "delete" key and it will go away. There is a preference page in google too where you can turn off "auto complete."

There is indeed a way but I'm not sure how thorough it will be so you'll need to test it out (I can't because my machine is recovering from a huge crash and I need all the addresses saved in my drop down bar).
Firstly, open an internet page and then go to 'Tools' and click on 'Internet Options'.
A box will pop up - from here, under 'History' change the number to 0 and click on 'clear History'.
Go to the 'Content' tab and under 'Personal Information' click on 'Auto Complete' and in the new box that pops up uncheck the box next to 'Web Addresses' under the 'Use AutoComplete For' heading.
That should do it but if it doesn't work give me a shout and I'll see what else can be done. :)
