It took about 15 minutes to SEARCH, Mickey2, and that was the main point of the post. The SEARCH option can get to particular points of interest very easily. Regarding your question about how much time I have....I hope about 35 more really great years. Then a gradual fade-out wrapped in the arms of Alz Heimer's most lovely young daughter, who's name escapes me at the moment, but whom I remember sharing an intimate whirlwind merry-go-round tryst with during recess one day in the 5th grade.

Deleting History?

browser history is just that, what you have accessed using your browser and nothing else, so when you clear browser history that is all you are clearing, to get it to clear history on close you do have to x out and close your Internet Explorer which has no connection to still being connected via your router connection, when you x out and close your browser that resets the browser and clears your history and what ever else you have it set to clean upon closing. any other programs you may be concerned with having a history would be totally independent of the browser and would have to be handled through that program. When you power down your pc and cut power then you are fully disconnected from the internet and no programs can have access. so there is a difference in powering down the pc and turning off your browser in your case IE, you can clear IE history and cache from either the tools menu on the top of IE or in control panel under internet options. Using a program like ATF will do a much better job of clearing all the history and cache and stuff you want cleared. ATF-Cleaner directions are on the page

How can I see what websites I've been to when using Google Chrome on my iPhone 5 version 7? As expected I visit good websites when I'm not home using my iMac and often want to re-visit them but I cannot find out how to do that. I've searched the web a bit with no luck. Thanks for your help!

Google web history.. while there, may not be what you mean.

IE has autocomplete which saves things typed in form fields which may be what you are wanting to clear. Some of those things are logins and passwords. I know of no way to clear just the google items.
But to clear all autocompletes, it that will work for you -0 in ie6 I think it goes something like this ...
1. Click on Tools in the IE menu
2. Select Internet Options
3. Select the Content Tab
4. Click the AutoComplete button
5. Click Clear Forms
6. Click OK
7. Click OK again

Alternatively; If you think google is saving the search terms,(which they do for everybody) google search box might forget them if you were to delete the google cookies.

I'm using Firefox as browser and cannot delete my Google history. I've tried the above directions, and can find nothing that states "delete history" I don't have a Google toolbar, however. Is there another way..........very annoying ?

Using Firefox I just right clicked over the space where you enter the search data and the option to delete the history was second from the bottom of the list in the drop down menu. I do not have the Google toolbar, just the space to write in

Is that it?
