Hi Charles,

Clear Recent File Lists (Search History Clear) Line 41
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Manual Edit:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru

To prevent keeping a history altogether, right click ACMru/Permissions/Deny
all users and groups listed.

Alternatively, IE/Search/Change Preferences/Turn AutoComplete Off

All the Best,
