Go to Control Panel and double click on Internet Options.
Click on the Content tab.
Click on the AutoComplete button.
Remove the check marks from the boxes next to the feature you
wish to disable.
Hit the "Clear forms" and "Clear passwords" buttons if you want
to remove past entries.
Note: Using the "Clear forms" button will remove previous
search items from Google.
