Thats autocomplete I beleive, you have to turn it off. Try internet options and advanced settings, might be in there, not sure though.

Diggrr · Jul 12, 2003

Yup. Tools>Internet Options>Advanced> The next line under Underline Links is "Use inline autocomplete", uncheck that box.

Truthfully though, IE still has that info, it just quits displaying it.
Don't know how to get it out of there since I used win98 (winhacker could do it).
Maybe "Windows Washer" could do it too...try looking through download pages like download.com for capable software.

If you double click in the search field does a list of where you've been still come up?

Well, if you want to delete the entries as well (I think it deletes them anyway... but knowing M$, it probably just starts sending it out to their master servers

)

In the auto complete area, click 'clear forms', and it (once again..) should get rid of the stuff. Just used it myself about 4 hours ago

Simply, highlight the first entry in the list and press delete, hold till empty.

TDF.

...or you could just select the first on, and then hit "CTRL - A". Selects everything.

Easiest way to do it is to use superior browser technology

Opera has an option that will delete every bit of private data stored, or only cookies, only typed in addresses, etc. (Get version 6, it's far better than version 7)

If you're using Windows 95/98 then I think deleting every file in the c:\windows\history and c:\windows\tempor~1 should do it. This must be done in dos mode (not a dos box under windows).
