Search where? In your search function in the PC? Desktop Search? Internet
searches? Open IE, click tools, options, content, autocomplete, and set the
settings until you're happy with them and delete the archived entries.

Galen,

Thanks for your reply and help.
It is where you search via the start up menu with the little dog looking for
stuff.

Hi,

AutoComplete:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Content/AutoComplete/Clear AutoComplete history

A small utility I created that clears certain History Lists

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

More info:

This process works and clears them from run also:

Clear IE History, AutoComplete, Clear the TIF, Clear the RunMRU, Typed URL's
and Clear List (depending on which Start Menu you are using): Right click
the Start button/Properties/Customize/Advanced/Recent Documents/Clear List.
