I just got the new update and was just wondering how do you clear the address bar of previous adresses?

trying to hide your porn obsession? :p

I'm wondering how to do that at all. In IE6 or Firefox.

Yep, the whole family is coming over including the kids who will probably want to play on my computer.

Go to internet options -> content -> auto complete options untick what content you don't want IE to give possible matches for. And you could delete your cookies and history as well.

Claim the internet isn't working and let them amuse themselves with solitaire.

people still use internet explorer :eek:

Right click on the internet explorer browser, select properties...General Tab, select the delete button in the browsing history section, click the history button, or all the buttons, and then push apply.

just in case you have google toolbar search thingy you need to change so it doesn't suggest things either, because I was searching for a vacuum part one day "dirt devil" but before I got it all out Google suggested "dirty latina maids" and I have never searched for that, but apparently Google though they would suggest it to me anyway.........:mad:

go in to Tools and in Internet options then use clear history,delete cookies, delete files tick the all offline context

Hubby. :eek:

Hubby. :eek:

I accused him, believe me, but apparently it's in their suggestions, he proved it to me by erasing all the search history and trying it again, go ahead if you have it, type "dirt" and dirty latina maids shows up.

The easiest way I believe is to visit a number of random web pages until the pages in question are pushed off the list.

Of Course

Well if they are that determined to dig up dirt on you, should they even be allowed in your home?

Hey, remember that google trends thing?

Strange, far more people looking for dirt devils than dirty latina maids.

Long live google rankings! /sarcasm

I've never used that tool bar...I really don't like using google either. What with their penchant for recording your searches...

To the OP....seriously think about using a different browser....firefox or opera perhaps...

Of Course

I guess life is tough in North Korea...

What do you use instead of Google?

I don't understand this fanatacism with firefox, it is only about 0.5% better then IE.

It also suggests a dirty sanchez.

no one goes on my one as you need a password at start

i only know what i said as it happen to a mate,his sister's son was messing around on the pc when she was visiting

Thank you all for your advice, its cleared now.

Well, I tried it. And the only explanation I can think of is that Hubby hacked into my computer, and made teh Google toolbar do that.

Better is better, if only by 0.5%

Better is better, if only by 0.5%

But that doesn't excuse the bizarre firefox and ie wars, and the absolute hate for I.E and the worship of firefox.

Better is better, if only by 0.5%

Firefox 2.0.1 has been crashing down a lot on me on a few sites, perhaps it's the javascript but I never had any problems with previous versions going belly up because of bad coding.

Even though IE7 is much much better than IE6 and I wouldn't mind using it as my main browser, Firefox still has a few neat tricks, specially in the form of add-ons that make it better for me. Annoying crashes notwithstanding (that's what session restore is there for anyway).

Dogpile...

re IE...the big problem with IE are the active X controls...big problem that. Amongst a host of other security flaws.

I don't understand this fanatacism with firefox, it is only about 0.5% better then IE.

tabbed browsing and the "stumble!" ad-on make it at least 150% better

But that doesn't excuse the bizarre firefox and ie wars, and the absolute hate for I.E and the worship of firefox.

gotta fight the man otherwise you get a monopoly and a monopoly on the internet is bad…

go in to Tools and in Internet options then use clear history,delete cookies, delete files tick the all offline contextLike he said, except that on IE7 (and in more detail) -

Click 'tools' in the rop right (below the search bar), click 'internet options' at the bottom of the menu, you choose the 'general' tab if you are not already it in, and then lick the 'delete' button in the 'browsing history' heading. To get rid of the history click 'delete' under the 'history' heading. You make also want to delete 'cookies' and 'temporary internet files' if you have people that are determined to find you out.

gotta fight the man otherwise you get a monopoly and a monopoly on the internet is bad…IE7 has tabbed browsing.

edit: it also has a pictorial way to browse your tabs. I like this a lot.

The main reason I prefer Firefox is the find facility. I prefer how it operates in Firefox than in IE7 (you don't have to click 'next' to find the first item and the search is immediate) and it also has a highlight option which is fantastic for speed browsing a long document.

IE7 has tabbed browsing.

if it doesn't have a stumble option its like living in a cave

Firefox has more than once incurred my wrath for deciding it doesn't like my bookmarks. At this point I've just given up and only use Firefox for iSketch and raids in Nexus War.

edit: I'm currently stuck with Firefox v2... I'm not very happy with it.

Its okay I have batteries for everyone :p

portable satellite dish anyone :p (though I will be down to the dreaded dial-up speed *shudders*)It's like you have jungle survival kit, except only for the internet addicted geek in an urban environs.

It also seems like we have a rapport Mr Power.

Apparently my IE7 sees the 'MSN Messenger Service' from 'Microsoft Corporation' as an nonchecked publisher, and thus as a security risk...

you can also use the battery once it gets hot enough to cook noodles however the catch is I fear it might explode/catch fire

Worth it I say :p

Mr Power.

Oddly that reads as the most terrifying thing I have ever read :eek:

I use both firefox and IE. Though I might just delete firefox as ie is the one with my favourites. They are both exactly the same speed, they both have tabbed browsing, anything else doesn't bother me.

Worth it I say :pNoodles? Better not be pot noodles. It isn't the food of Britain, is it. Damn adverts.Oddly that reads as the most terrifying thing I have ever read :eek:What? Why?! Out with it man.

Noodles? Better not be pot noodles. It isn't the food of Britain, is it. Damn adverts.

pfft super noodles is where its at

What? Why?! Out with it man.

I would take caution the words "Mr power" bring some very disturbing memories about a movie

I will leave the rest to the wildness of your imagination….

people still use internet explorer :eek:

I have it but I use Firefox. Especially because it doesn't like my parental controls. (Grins wickedly)

Bad Johnny :p

Only when I want to be. :)

pfft super noodles is where its atIndeed, although I haven't had them in years. I think the chicken flavour was my favourite. And you had to make them with extra water so you could have noodle soup instead.I would take caution the words "Mr power" bring some very disturbing memories about a movie

I will leave the rest to the wildness of your imagination….Either I'm thinking of the wrong film or you need another 's' and a city in Texas. Cryptic for teh win!

Options------>find the "clear browsing history" option and click that..


and also, you should drop IE all together, and get Opera ;)

Go to internet options -> content -> auto complete options untick what content you don't want IE to give possible matches for. And you could delete your cookies and history as well.

... and the kids will still find the porn.

You could format your disk, reinstall windows and IE, and put net-nanny on your computer.

... and the kids will still find the porn.

By a new computer, and open it only after they arrive. They will only probably find the porn on it.

I'm certain you've already been answered, but basically go to tools, find internet options, then click delete, and then delete all. Viola! You got yourself a clean slate!

(And noone will find out about those porno sites you were on ;))

Yeah but how do you stop it doing it altogether?

And use firefox, its better in every way.
