ncorrenti 0 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 To clear your history, open up your internet browser and go to Tools. Select Internet Options and click on 'Clear History'. You may also want to change the 'Days to keep pages in history' to 0. Also, if you really want to start afresh, delete your cookies. To clear the AutoComplete function in Google, go to the Content tab in Internet Options and click on 'AutoComplete'. You can then clear them. Link to post Share on other sites

mayhem22 0 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 nicole - thanks. boy, do i feel like a ditz. misorano - i wasn't until today, when i attempted to solve the history problem by unistalling and reinstalling mozilla...and when it reinstalled it was with the google toolbar. and also, strangely enough, (cookies or something maybe?), it was as though nothing had changed - all my old bookmarks, search history, everything was still there...
