Does anyone know if its possible to delete the history
that is maintained by the Windows XP search function?
Every time I type in a new search criteria any previous
criteria that has been used with a spelling any where
close to the spelling of my current criteria is listed.
This is annoying. Thanks for any help that can be given.

Manual Edit:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru

To prevent keeping a history altogether, right click ACMru/Permissions/Deny
all users and groups listed.

Alternatively, IE/Search/Change Preferences/Turn AutoComplete Off
