okay heres the problem...i am using windows xp...whenever i type in "google" in my address bar i still have all these searches from before...and uh u noe wat kinda websites u dont want anyone else to see so i deleted the history, cookies, and files. but when i type in "google" again it still has all the searches ive made...but the all the history is gone except for that...does anyone know how to delete these or at least how to uninstall internet explorer completely?

Hope this helps

Need to get rid of drop-down menu on search engine

Also it is my understanding that IE cannot be removed from the OS as it is an integral part. It can be 'turned off' via the add remove programs from the control panel under the side panel add remove window components. This makes it not accessable from the start menu or desktop.

im sry if i didnt make it clearer but what i meant is the address bar up there...if i unclick the autocomplete and take it off then people will know i have something to hide...okay let me explain it again...when i clear the history....and i want to check if it did it i type in google and it still has my searches.

the IE toolbar or a google toolbar?

either way you should be able to right click each entry and delete.

also many of the links in the previous post may make it easier:

go to Tools > Internet Options > Context > AutoComplete > Clear Forms

or:

Clear Recent File Lists - Includes Search and Run Menu (Line 41)
