hi all

I want to know how to erase the windows xp find history as i do a lot of
searching and have quite a few items in it. is there a registry key or a
file or something that i can delete? I have tried a few secuity apps but
they dont work.

thanks in advance

I would not recommend deleting registry entrys if you do not know what you
are doing, in fact, I recommend staying out of the registry all together
unless you have proficient knowlage of what your even viewing. (M$ made it
hard to edit for novices for a reason!) But there is an application that
does this for you in a .vbs here.

Although I DO NOT recommend running this unless you have opened the script
and understand what IT is deleting.

If you feel that you MUST get rid of something that only helps you in the
end, I would recommend this program to not only take care of what you are
asking, but to also clean up the rest of the evidence you may not even know
is there, but should get rid of anyway..
