how do i shut off the feature that pulls up a list of
previous searches whenever i type in a search box?
 
Hi Jason,

IE/Tools/Internet Options/Content/AutoComplete/Clear AutoComplete
Start/Search/Change Preferences/Turn AutoComplete off

A small utility I created that clears certain History Lists

Clear Recent File Lists - Includes Search and Run Menu (Line 41)

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.
 
From Internet Explorer, goto tools, internet options,
content tab, auto complete and make your settings in there
