Or just download Firefox. Better, safer browser, and you can set it to clear all your history etc every time you close the browser, and/or every time you hit a certain key combination.FalconHawk said:Ok. On the computer I am using, if I delete the URL it goes away but not permanently. If you click on the arrow button at the end of the address bar, the URL reappears! I can only get rid of it if I clear history. So Gents don't rely on the delete function to clear the recorded history in the address bar!
Now to get rid of the history of searches you have done in the google bar, go to TOOLS-INTERNET-CONTENT and disable the AutoComplete function. Seems to work.
Hope this helps.
Axiomatic is right. I switched to Firefox as a browser several months ago and will never use Internet Explorer again. It isn't full of holes like IE, it dumps everything (cache/history) when you close it and now when I run Spybot or Ad-Aware, I rarely, if ever find any spyware. You can easily disable JavaScript and then selectively activate it from the taskbar at the bottom should you find you need it for a particular site. Much safer surfing.axiomatic said:Or just download Firefox.
