When you go to type in keywords to search for in AltaVista, a list of recent searches drops down. I find this quite useful as I repeat searches often. However, now the list is so full it is no longer useful. I am familiar with editing the Registry, but could not find the recent file list for AltaVista, like you can for many other things. Where does this lie? Is it a cookie somewhere? Thanks in advance. -- OzzyFrank �������������������������������� Want Registry Tips and Cool Tweaks? �������������������������������� http://ozzyfrank.150m.com/C-Frank.htm ���������������������������������������� Some METAL each day keeps the Demons at bay! ����������������������������������������

Thanks, never even bothered with the Content sheet before! But I gather this removes ALL auto-complete entries, so I guess i just better have a look around and see if i can find just AltaVista's. However, since i rarely use other autocompletes than in Altavista, which i want to clear, I will probably just resort to your method if i don't find something soon.

you can go to their site and click on the search box. when the drop down menu appears just move your pointer to the ones you dont want and press the delete key.
