Go to tools, Internet Options, and then click Clear History. I think thats what you're looking for.

yeah, i think so, too. that deletes links in the history folder and URL bar.

if that doesn't work, maybe a case of malware

run spybot, adaware, etc, or a commercial program like Window Washer (my fav)

either way, use firefox from now on and lay IE to rest.

I used to use the search engine to look up porn by typing the url I wanted to go to in the search then clicking the link the history for your browser only shows google not the site your visiting that way

yea but say you do do it that way it gets memorized into googles search. so if u did do a www. blah blah porn blah.com if you go back and search anythign with W as the first letter all those sites will show up. Or if you looked up something like "Boob" or "(Insert fetish of choice here)" it will always come up when searching in google if typing the first letter of your search. I hope what I said made sense and that I understood your method correctly.

Yeah Im on my own comp, my user is password protected and I log out whenever Im no at the comp. My history and temp files are rife with porn links, and everything I download is just on a partition called Porn.

good place to hide stuff, on a XP network you can't access the documents folders or program files from another pc through the network (on the c drive at least) without really trying so anyone wanting to look would need to be on your computer and look through all the folders for it.

you can try to disable Auto Complete. right-click the explorer icon>properties, its under one of the tabs. i forgot which one. but you can disable that feature where you type a letter in a form field and it auto completes a word for you. i think thats what youre looking for.

Yea thats what I was talking about, but its not that big of a deal to me. I have my own computer with XP on it so I have it set up with a password so I don't need to worry.
