Windows lists

[theleg]

Ok so this is another stupid question by me..How on earth can i clear the lists in windows? Like when i go to put something into google, a dropdown list will appear with my previous entries...How do i clear that?

some depend on program etc, most are stored in the registry.

what i do is (taking the google box for e.g.) type in random 8+ letters (e.g. fremfghs), press enter to search. then open registry editor (Start --> Run --> regedit --> OK) and do a search for the 8+ letters. you will then see where they are stored. delete as appropriate!




the missus been finding your pr0n searches?

On IE 7, goto Tools and then Delete browsing history where there are different options for clearing out all those dodgy searches you've done.

Firefox is Tools -> Clear private data

I wouldn't recommend going into the registry unless you know what you're doing though.

Edit: You want the clear forms options to clear the google search box
