Austin Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi Englisch101 There are a couple different ways to do this. Method 1. If you are looking to just delete a few of the search terms in your history. From your recently searched history box, highlight the term you would like to delete by hovering your mouse over it. Once highlighted, hit the delete key on your keyboard. Poof its gone! But this can be time consuming. Method 2. If you want to delete all of your search terms from your history box Go to the start menu and open up regedit, then browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WordWheelQuery From there right-click the WordwheelQuery folder and delete it. All Gone! Now you have a clean slate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumanina Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 You know you should try the easier way go to "start menu"and then to "Control Panel". After the window has gone up,go to "Network And Internet"And then to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
