Hi

I'd like to know how to delete the text that internet explorer likes
to spring up after I type in a few words. Eg, if I type 'google
answers', by the time i've got to 'go', there are about 20 other
things suggested!! Look forward to hearing from someone.

Cheers!!

Hi markyboy,

Thank you for your question.


To Remove all Past Searches from Internet Explorer:  

Tools ---> Internet Options ---> Content tab. 
Click on AUTO COMPLETE ---> Click on Clear Forms ---> Click OK

(This will stop the search bar from completing words 
you type in that have remained from past searches.)

Best regards,

If you are using a Macintosh, make Internet Explorer active and pull
down the Edit menu and click on Preferences.  When Preferences open,
look at the list on the left and click on Browser Display.  When that
window opens you'll find a box beside the phrase Use Address
AutoComplete.  Click on the box so that it is left blank.  Problem
solved.

If you are using a PC, which I'm not, you may find that with slight
alteration the above can be done.

Good luck.
Marc
