AutoComplete in Search Command

Hi,

When searching for a file under WindowsXP, one can use search via Start,
Setttings, Search and then a search windows pops up. One can then fill in
the file name in the little window called "All or part of the file name:"
When doing so, then after having typed the first letter of the wanted file
(name), a list of other names with the same beginning letter pop up in some
kind of a pull down menu thing. Looks like there is an AutoComplete on
system level at work.
How can the content of that AutoComplete be erased?
How can that AutoComplete be switched off?

Thanks folks, cheers
johan
