How do I clear explorer completely?

Meaning the dropdowns that are there when entering searches, usernames etc? I've done the Tools>Internet Options>Content>Auto Complete and that didn't do the trick. I've also cleared cookies, history etc and that isn't getting me where I want...

My lists are soooo long that I want to clear them all at home and also clear traces at work! LOL!!!

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you!

 

Try using CCleaner. It a free program that cleans everything...

From Page...
Cleans the following:

- Internet Explorer Cache, History, Cookies, Index.dat.

- Recycle Bin, Temporary files and Log files.

- Recently opened URLs and files.

- Third-party application temp files and recent file lists (MRUs). Including: Media Player, eMule, Kazaa, Google Toolbar, Netscape, Office XP, Nero, Adobe Acrobat, WinRAR, WinAce and more...

- Advanced Registry scanner and cleaner to remove unused and old entries. Including File Extensions, ActiveX Controls, ClassIDs, ProgIDs, Uninstallers, Shared DLLs, Fonts, Help Files, Application Paths, Icons, Invalid Shortcuts and more...

- This software is completely Freeware and contains no Spyware.

 

Great! Thank you Kent, sounds like what I'm looking for! I'll give it a shot!!

Thanks again.

 

Purrrrrfect!!!

Thank you!!!

 

Glad to help!

 

Hey you know what? It worked perfectly on my computer at work but here at home, it isn't working all the way.... all my google things are still there, and passwords etc.

What shall I do??

Thanks!!

 

Hmmm...Are you running the "Google Toolbar "? I'm am and when I run C**p Cleaner all my history gets cleaned out. Start CCleaner and under the "Applications" tab verify that the "Google Toolbar" options is selected.

This is what options I am using...

Windows Tab
Internet Explorer section:
- All selected but Delete Index.dat files

Windows Explorer scetion:
- All selected but Menu Order Cache, Tray Notification Cache, Window Size/Location Cache, and User Asist History

System section:
- All selected but IIS Log Files

Hello!

Yes, I have the google toolbar and my settings are pretty much the same as yours... my web stuff hasn't cleared either, like on the google page if I click in the search bar, a dropdown is there will all my previous searches! This is strange b/c it worked PERFECTLY at work!! Go figure! I'll keep trying it but it doesn't seem to work. And I tried their site last night but it was down...

 

OK...

You can give MRU-Blaster a try. Another great free tool from the people who give you SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard.
