Help. My wife is mad at me because she thinks I am seeing my old girlfriend. She was searching files and started typing a word in. Autocomplete finished it with my girlfriends name. I can't delete it. Anyone?

If you mean Find/Files or Folders then do this: Start button/Settings/Taskbar & Start Menu/ Start Menu Programs tab/Clear button. Derek

Incidentally, my #1 also clears these: Start menu documents list - immediately. Typed URL's in IE - immediately. The Run box history - after re-boot. Derek

Err...why did autocomplete come up with your girlfriends name? Derek

Hey Right click IE on the desktop/properties/content/auto complete. Select clear forms. Also if I were you I wouldn't use auto complete anymore.

I'd be looking for roses and a CYA program. Drag racing will piss her off too and it's cheaper in the long run. From Mark Twain - Letters From The Earth "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is a command which makes no distinction between the following persons. They are all required to obey it: Children at birth. Children in the cradle. School children. Youths and maidens. Fresh adults. Older ones. Men and women of 40. Of 50. Of 60. Of 70. Of 80. Of 90. Of 100. The command does not distribute its burden equally, and cannot. It is not hard upon the three sets of children. It is hard -- harder -- still harder upon the next three sets -- cruelly hard. It is blessedly softened to the next three sets. And if worse turns to worse, save what you can...more advice from Mr. Twain: "1. Fiancees. 2. Persons toward whom the operator feels a tender sentiment, but has not yet declared himself. 3. Sisters 4. Stepsisters 5. Nieces 6. First Cousins 7. Cripples 8. Second Cousins 9. Invalids 10. Young lady relations by marriage 11. Third cousins, and young lady friends of the family 12. The unclassified Parties belonging to these twelve divisions should be saved in the order in which they are named. 13. Babies 14. Children under 10 years of age. 15. Young widows 16. Young married females 17. Elderly married ditto. 18. Elderly widows. 19. Clergymen. 20. Boarders in general. 21. Female domestics. 22. Male ditto. 23. Landlady. 24. Landlord. 25. Firemen. 26. Furniture. 27. Mothers in law." IMHO No's 1 and 2 may be replaced by racecar and beer in the order you choose. No 27 is etched in stone. Skip

"Autocomplete finished it with my girlfriends name. I can't delete it. Anyone?" Don't delete it. Let's say your ex gf's name is Monica. Create a file called monica.txt. In it write something like "monica - this is the last time I'm asking you to buzz off before pursuing a restraining order. Keep your fat butt out of my life. My wife is better than you in every way. Quit bugging me". Then bury the file in some obscure sub-folder. Tell your wife you were just looking for the file. To assure your wife you did not just create the file today in order to get out of this mess you are in, use AttributeMagic Pro to set the file date to whatever you want. Then you can say to her "see, I wrote this note a couple years ago to get her to buzz off." Then when she says "I bet you just wrote it today and used some fancy schmancy freeware program to change the file date". Then you say "wha, wha, what? You mean like that new Attribute Magic icon you're pointing to? Uh, uh, uh... " http://www.attributemagic.com/attributemagic_pro.html
