    Hi,

    I have a question. I was clearing out a lot of files stored in the IE cache so I deleted the temporary internet files, the cookies, and I cleared the history. My problem is whenever I type a letter in the address toolbar in IE, or even in the Windows Explorer, all of these links come up. Like if I type in the letter "g", it shows:

    G:\
    http://www.google.com
    and a whole bunch of other google searches

    How do I get rid of all of the extra searches? Any ideas?

    Brandon

    I don't know why that happens but sure enough it does, even after you clear history. I use a shredding program which clears it right up. And so does cleaning programs, McAfee QuickClean is what I got.

    Windows keeps all the links you visit in a special file wich you almost cant delete. You need some special programs to clean it!! Be shure to do it fast at work, just in case ur boss knows it
