Hi hokiejoe
I cannot seem to clear the search history box for my
verizon homepage. Verizon tells me it is a Microsoft
issue. I can clear my MSN search box with no problem.
Can anyone help?
Try the following and see if it helps.
Unable to search from address bar
From Internet Explorer click on tools>internet options>advanced. Scroll down
to "search from the address bar" and check appropriate boxes. Another way is
to put the Google tool bar on I.E. Go to
www.google.com and click on
"services and tools" then click "google toolbar".
Also, check the Registry to see if this file is there. Sometime during
removal of hijackers or spyware files in the Registry can get corrupted or
removed as well. If not, try adding this line to this part of the registry.
(watch for the wrap, it should be all on one line)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\URLSearchHooks]
"{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497}"=""

To empty your Temporary Internet Files cache
1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
2. On the General tab, click Delete Files.
To turn off graphic compression in the AOL client
1. Go to Preferences in AOL.
2. Click Internet properties (or WWW in some versions).
3. Click Web Graphics.
4. Clear Never compress graphics (or Use compressed graphics in some
versions).
or .........................................
Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.
If still no joy then have a look at this page for other issues.
