Go to the Start button>Search>for Files or Folders then on the left hand
menu select 'Change Preferences' and click where it says 'Turn AutoComplete

Hi Marko,

Automated Edit:

Clear Search History under Search (Line 24)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Manual Edit:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru

To prevent keeping a history altogether, right click ACMru/Permissions/Deny
all users and groups listed.

Alternatively, IE/Search/Change Preferences/Turn AutoComplete Off

If you prefer not to edit the registry, this utility will do it for you:

Clear Recent File Lists (Search History Clear) Line 41
