  1. click tools-internet options-delete history


  2. There are other ways, but the directions will be different depending on which browser you're using. This works no matter which browser you are using. If you want to clear the searches from the search box menu on Yahoo or Google pages, double click the search box, this will make a menu drop down with your searches, put your cursor on what you want to delete to highlight it, hit the delete button on your keyboard. If you want to delete everything just hold the delete button down until everything is deleted.

    If you want to clear the search history and disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following:

    Internet Explorer 6

    To clear the search box history on Yahoo! and Google pages > on Internet Explorer toolbar click Tools > Internet Options > Content tab > under Personal information, click the AutoComplete box, on the AutoComplete Settings window click the Clear Forms box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history, click OK.

    Internet Explorer 7

    To clear the search box history on Yahoo! and Google pages > on Internet Explorer toolbar click Tools > Internet Options > on the General tab under Browsing History, click Delete > in the dialogue window that opens click Delete Forms > click Apply and OK.

    On Internet Explorer 7, to stop the generation of the search box history on Yahoo! and Google pages,click Tools > Internet Options > Content tab > under AutoComplete, click Settings and uncheck the Forms box > click OK.

    To clear the searches on Yahoo Toolbar:

    If you have the older Yahoo! Toolbar, click the pencil icon beside the search box and click Clear Recent Searches.

    If you have the the new Yahoo! Toolbar, click the down arrow beside the avatar icon located next to the Bookmarks Button and click Clear Recent Searches.

  3. In explorer click on Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files, Delete Cookies, Delete History. Delete Files may take a while.  Watch Disk light.

  4. defrag. and do the disc cleaner, you can also download ccleaner at download.com and that takes it all off to. its a c**p cleaner.

  5. IE6: Tools > Internet Options > Content > AutoComplete > Clear Forms. This will clear out ALL your autocompleted forms, such as search windows, form fill-ins, etc. You can also reset your Auto-Complete options here. Other browsers have something similar, you just need to find it!

    Or, to delete just a single (or a few) searches, just have them highlighted in the drop-down list and hit DELETE -- they will vanish! If you hold down the key, the whole drop-down list of searches will delete.

    If you are using the Yahoo! Toolbar, I believe there is a drop-down box at the end of the search window that has the option to CLEAR SEARCHES on it.

    BTW, clearing your history, as some people may suggest to do, only clears out the PAGE locations that you have recently visited, NOT the searches!!

  6. In Internet Explorer:

    Click on Tools:

    Click on "Delete Browsing History"

    Or if you want to delete Cookies:

    Click Tools:

    Click "Internet Options"

    Click on "General" if it's not the first option to come up and you can delete "Browsing History" from there.

  7. the "pop up blockers" and things like that are little unfortunate extras that accompany the various and sundry downloads we get.  you can go to your "add/remove programs" under the control panel and somewhere in there you should see the different accessories that have been downloaded.  hope this helps!
