  1. To adjust AutoComplete settings

    You can configure AutoComplete to save and suggest only the information you want. You can choose whether to use AutoComplete for Web addresses, forms, and passwords, or not use it all. You can also clear the history for any of these.

    1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

    2. Click the Content tab.

    3. Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.

    4. Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options you want to use.


  2. Yahoo! Toolbar will remember your recent searches so that you can easily find the things you searched for previously. However, there are several ways you can clear the search history in the toolbar.

    If you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following:

       1. Click the Pencil menu.

       2. Select "Clear Recent Searches".

    If you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the Web, but automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following:

       1. Click the Pencil menu.

       2. Select "Toolbar Options".

       3. Select "Auto-clear recent searches when exiting IE" so there's a checkmark in the box next to it.

       4. Click "OK".

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

       1. Click the Pencil menu.

       2. Select "Toolbar Options".

       3. Click "Remember Recent Searches" so there's not a checkmark in the box next to it.

       4. Click "OK".
