as the "G" situated next to the address bar is a mini
"google tool bar" your reccomendation won't clear (for example) the search history of google if accessed via google.com

luapo's suggestion
by grandpaw7 - 5/9/05 2:12 AM In reply to: FYI by jonah jones
Jonah, as best as I can tell, Luapo's suggestion works if a person doesn't have the Google toolbar, which I no longer have. I got rid of the Google toolbar because I'm too dumb to understand enough about it, and also because I couldn't get it to display the clear history item when I clicked on the G, either right or left.
luapos' solution works (nice site too!)

Autocomplete History?
by luapo - 2/2/05 11:45 AM In reply to: to delete search history by SammHistory from the Google Search bar is usually stored in auto complete. This is also where passwords and data from forms that you have previously filled out can be cleared.

better longterm option
by bevo - 2/4/05 8:24 AM In reply to: to delete search history by SammAs for the Google searchbar in IE, if you clear the search history, that works fine for now, but the history will build itself up again, forcing you to clear it on a regular basis (if you're trying to prevent your mom or wife from seing porn porn porn, when looking for a pie recipe). A better solution is to go to "Options" on the Google dropdown, and then to the "More" tab where you can un-click "Save the search history across browser sesions." Problem solved.
I don't want my daughter to know
by grandpaw7 - 2/4/05 9:37 AM In reply to: better longterm option by bevothat I've been searching for a better pie receipe than she has been using. And I'm not familiar with the term "porn"; does that have something to do with girls?
I may,however, use the technique you suggested: I don't want the attorney general to know that I checked out a muslim site.
Did you? Find the new pie receipe
by 3151jeff - 6/26/05 11:44 AM In reply to: I don't want my daughter to know by grandpaw7Let me know which pie receipe is best. I think PORN is something they used to play records on ie. Pornograph or maybe it is a Horn for a Porsche or perhaps a description of when it is really raining hard in the Ozarks ie. "it's just Porn cats and dogs"
HAVE A NICE DAY.
Deleting history in a search box
by casper2004 - 2/4/05 10:23 AM In reply to: to delete search history by SammI personally think it's impossible to really get rid of the history in computers. Especially in this day and age when government has arranged it so that they can use technology against us. Call it the new world order, globalization, or even highway robbery!
Disable Recent Documents History

Normally when you open or access a document or file it is added to the list of recent documents on the Start Menu. This tweak will stop files from being added to the list.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value called 'NoRecentDocsHistory' set the value to equal '1' to enable the restriction.
Exit your registry, you may need to restart for the changes to take effect.
Registry Settings
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer]
Value Name: NoRecentDocsHistory
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
