Hi

In google and other sites, I will use google for example, you know when you search on google, close google, open google again and the word you searched for has appeared in the white search bar, how exactly can you erase those words as now I have thousands of search words in there now

I have tried erasing the system cache with no luck, I have also tried erasing cookie files but all that erased was the site addresses in the address bar above

Please help me as I would like to erase them as they just get in the way

Thanks in advance

Richard

There has to be some way of doing it, I did what you told me to do under Windows 98 and it worked but under XP it doesn't, how come

Please help
