Well, you can turn off that feature……

But honestly, if my kids wanted that much “privacy” on a family computer, I would not allow them to USE it. ;)

Go to Tools/Internet Options

Then go to the Advanced tab on the window that opens. There should be something about autocomplete. That might do the trick.

[sharpshooter1286]

turned it off, but when i type www.a the scroll opens and all the websites that begin with a are displayed underneath the adress bar where you scroll down,

Restart?

If all else fails: Format the sucker and remember to be smarter next time. :p

Don't look at porn, problem solved.

You could do a system restore to a date prior to this excursion into the dark realms of the intarweb?

I see your problem mine does the same thing. Hang on im working on it. ? you didnt put anything in faviorites did ya

[Beemer]

what comes up for me is what I have in my faviorites. I deleted one of them and it doesnt come up any more. Dont you have your own user account? You would solve the problem by making one

I believe the one you want is the Clear History of typed URLS

hehe next time be more careful of what pr0n sites you visit :)

[sharpshooter1286]

ok i figured it out, the history automatically clears in one day and that setting is locked, so i will just have to pull an all nighter and keep a watch on the computers, and by the way its not porn its stuff like joke sites that have like adult jokes...i have a gf i stopped with that whole porn thing when i started goin out with her

delete the favoirtes, because it also autocompletes the favorites, it took me a while to figure that one out too :)

If ya did all nighter wont help. Got to delete it out of favs. Click faviorites on tool bar, right click the one you want to delete and delete.

[sharpshooter1286]

its not in favorites

[Beemer]

Then just clear history and reboot it and see what ya got

[PyRo]

Ok in Internet Explorer go to
Tools(menu)
Internet Options(menu)
Content (tab)
Autocomplete(little button thing)
From there you can turn the option off. It says that just deleting history will clear it though. Perhaps try manually deleting your history?
