Answer 1

for IE go to TOOLS, INTERNET OPTIONS, CONTENT TAB, AUTOCOMPLE, and then check w/e you want cleared and click clear forms.

for Firefox go to Tools, Options, Privacy Tab, and click clear now at the bottom.

Answer 2

Open inet options in the control panel and enter content. In auto complete uncheck web addresses. In options on the mail page enter preferences choose not to show short cuts as well.

Answer 3

Go to and click Tools. Scroll and click Browser Options, scroll to history and click CLEAR URL'S then click Ok.

Answer 4

You need to clear or disable Auto Complete. This saves all previous searches in your search bar. Here's how to fix the problem:

For Internet Explorer: Click on Tools. Then Internet Options. Click on Content and then Auto Complete. Then click on Clear Forms. This will erase your search history. If you don't want things showing up again in your search history then deselect the Auto Complete options at the top. Be sure to select apply or ok at the bottom.
