How to get rid of ALL history files from I.E.?

[Relf Lauren]

I basically want to clear up all of the history/temp files IE puts on your computer after you visit a bunch of pages:

I already delete everything in the following directories:

c:\windows\temp
c:\windows\temporary internet files
c:\windows\history

Whenever I go into IE, and I begin to type a URL (ie. www.h), it automatically brings up a little box under the adress bar indicating URLs that begin with the letter (in this case "h"...so something like "www.hotornot.com" would appear)...I was wondering if there is any way to get rid of this?

Thanks!

you'll need to uncheck autocomplete in internet options/advanced.

autocomplete will not remove that.

go to internet options, hit the button that says clear history.

reformatting your hardrive and starting over with a fresh install of windows will work😉

Autocomplete was already unchecked 🙂

Clearing history doesn't change anything 🙂

Is this a program? Can you give me some more information? Thanks

Hmm . . . I have IE5.5 and when I &quot;delete files &amp; history&quot; from Tools/Internet Options, the drop-down box CLEARS.

When I type in &quot;www&quot; a box come ups &quot;search for www&quot;, but the entrys are cleared. Is mine set up differently?
