How To Clear the History of Previously Visited Addresses

To completely remove all entries in Auto Complete:

• At the top of your Internet Explorer select "Tools".
• Select "Internet Options" from the drop down menu.
• Click on the "General" tab at the top of the Internet Options window, if it isn't already done.
• In the History section, click the button "Clear History"
• Click "OK" to Delete All Items In Your History Folder.
• Click "OK" to close the Internet Options window.

How to Stop the Auto-Complete Feature for Addresses, Forms, and Passwords

From this area described above you can also turn off the save password options. If you do not want your children entering places with your password this would be a good idea. You can also turn off the option of auto completing forms. Turning off the option for auto completing forms will prevent Internet Explorer from showing items that you have searched for previously from appearing in search boxes and prevent it from trying to complete forms that you have filled out previously.

How to Delete Words and Phrases Saved in Search Boxes and Forms

If you have entered words or phrases into search boxes or forms that were incorrect, you can remove one or more by doing this:

• To bring up the list of items that you have previously typed in a search box or form, double-click your mouse in the box or type the first letter of the word. (See screen shot of where I typed my name wrong and it keeps appearing.)
• Move your mouse cursor over the word that you want to delete but do not click on it. It will be highlighted.
• Click your delete key on your keyboard.

That specific word will not appear again.
