Internet leader (Links) one-able to remove from the desktop search bar?

I seem to be impossible to remove internet files that appear in the section 'drop down' in the search box that assign you to the desktop. (By searching for the box, that I mean where you press F3 on your desktop, when Vista and it appears).

I started to type a term akin, hover over it and press DELETE, but it will not erase.

Internet history is quite clear and I also tried the AutoComplete historydeletion so I do not know what to do?

Any help is better than nothing.

Hello ojtubb4,

You are probably using the toolbar of the address bar. In addition, you probably see the programs recently and the items that appear in the start menu. If you want to clear history, simply:

  • Right click on the task bar > click Properties
  • Click on Start menu tab
Under the heading privacy, uncheck the two boxes:
  1. Store and display recently opened in the start menu programs
  2. Store and display of recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar
Click OK
Hope this helps
