    Okay, here's the problem I'm having.

    Everytime I want to search for something using google, a little drop-down menu appears with my previous searches. Is there a way to remove that? Sometimes my parents use my computer and I really don't want them to see the things I've been searching for. :lol:

    minor park: Not on google I don't. I know there is a way to do it because I've never had this problem before. All I want to do is search for things using google and not have it show up again when I search for other things.

    Here's what you do: click in the search box and press the down arrow key once so a list of your entire search histrory in Google drops down. Hover your pointer over the top search to highlight it without clicking and hold delete until everything deletes.

    Or if you use Firefox...

    Tools > Privacy > Saved Form Information > [clear]

    With firefox I believe you have to hold down shift, find the result and hit delete. I remember firefox isn't the same as IE.

    But you still use shitty, system compromising IE so... :shifty:

    I don't really mind using IE, Derek. It's a hell of a lot better than when I was using AOL. ;)
