How do you turn off Internet Explorer's memory of previous
entries, for example, in search engines or on E-bay search?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Craig,

Most likely you are asking about the feature in Internet Explorer that is
called AutoComplete. On target device go to Tools -> Internet Options...
Click the "Content" tab. Under "Personal Information," click the
"AutoComplete..." button. To turn off the feature, look under "Use
AutoComplete for." Next to "Forms," there should be a check mark. Click the
check mark to turn it off. If you only want to empty the list, look under
"Clear AutoComplete History" and click the "Clear Forms" button.

Are you working on a XPe device? if so, then you may want to look at the
registry to set these values:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoCo
mplete]
"Append Completion"="no"
"AutoSuggest"="no"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"FormSuggest"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"FormSuggest"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"FormSuggest Passwords"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"**del.FormSuggest"=" "
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy
Objects\LocalUser\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"FormSuggest Passwords"=dword:00000000

If not, you may want to post your question to
microsoft.public.windows.general.
