Previously searched/typed items stay listed at bottom

[Jeep]

Let's say I'm at google or something, or any search engine... Well, any place I can search for something and I type in A, anything I've ever searched starting with A shows up. of course, same for every letter of the alphabet. Or say I'm on MySpace or something and I'm typing something, something I've previously typed comes up as a suggestion for what I might type. I don't know, hard to explain. But deleting history doesn't work.

Help, I'm computer retarded.

To clean a lot of history-type stuff out of your system, I suggest downloading, installing, and running CCleaner.  I also suggest you choose not to install Yahoo toolbar which comes with CCleaner.  You'll have the option to unselect it soon after the CCleaner installation starts.

I apoligize for the double post but, I ran the program and nothing seemed to change.

Make sure you have Autocomplete Form History checked before you run the cleaner.

When you ran CCleaner, you did first Analyze, and then you clicked on Run Cleaner, right?  Analyze identifies stuff to be removed; Run Cleaner actually removes it.

If you would like to completely disable the Auto complete Form History, click
Tools > Internet Options

Then click the "Content" tab at the top of that window
Then click "Settings" next to "Auto Complete"
and from there, its self explanatory. (Just remember to click "Apply" or "OK' then you are done)

Hm, yeah, I guess that would've been a good thing to mention earlier.  Ha.
