how do u get rid of the thing that comes down and shows u what u typed before while ur typing something in a textbox. like say if i searched for something in a search engine before and i press "c" in the textbox and a whole list of things that i searched for with "c" comes down. how do i get rid of that thing?

I would love to know that as well... because I've only just noticed it happening...is it a new thing?

Do you wish just to clear it or stop it all togher?

To clear it, on xp go to
Start
Control Pannel
Internet options (open this)

Then press the clear history button and the delete cookies button and delete files button. I think this gets rid of it. But if you clear your cookies sites that remember your passwords n lgoints will have to be entered by you the next time you go to it.
As for stopping it, im not sure, il have a butch, mine doesnt save it n e way so not totally sure. Also I dont know what ive just told you will definatly work but i think it does, ive done it in the past.

This is how you clear it:

Open IE. Go to Tools --> Internet Options --> Content tab --> AutoComplete button. You can choose to clear the Forms (like Google) or passwords here.

To stop it from doing that all together, go to the same place and untick the forms checkbox.
