Question
Hi Tom,
I use Windows 2000. When I browse the internet, and start typing a website address, I would prefer not to have the computer automatically show (via drop down listing) every website I have ever surfed to.  How can I keep the website field clean, so I can just type what I want, without being reminded of the past history?
Thanks.  Glen

Answer

currently working in an IT Department...I dont answer any Questions about Server Operating Systems and Microsoft Office Products....As the freqent questions about Password related topics are rising up, i dont answer any Questions about "How do i logon my system when i forgot my password". Answering this would be against the laws in my country, and excuse me, i dont know you and nobody can prove me that you really want to log on to your pc and not anyone else. Thx in advance.
