How to clear visited web sites?

How do you clear the recent sites visited that appear in the web search box .They list when clicked on.?

  • A little box with sites lited at the top right on the yahoo main page.

  • Answer:

    This works if you have Internet Explorer as your browser. The record of search history which appears in the search box on Yahoo and Google pages is actually a feature controlled by your browser. * Click Tools at the top of your screen, a menu will drop down, click on Internet Options, then click on the Content tab. Under Personal information, click on the AutoComplete box. On the AutoComplete Settings window click the Clear Forms box to delete your current history, or you can uncheck the Forms box to permanently stop the generation of the search history. When you are finished remember to click OK. * If you just want to clear the searches (and don't want to stop the generation of the search history) from the search box menu on Yahoo or Google Home Page or any other Yahoo or Google page, double click the search box, this will make a menu drop down with your searches, put your cursor on what you want to delete to highlight it, hit the delete button on your keyboard. If you want to delete everything just hold the delete button down until everything is deleted. * To clear searches on Yahoo Toolbar, click the pencil icon beside the search box, a menu will drop down, click Clear Recent Searches. If you want to stop saving recent searches, click Toolbar Options and uncheck "Enable Search History", or check "Auto-clear Search History when quitting IE" to clear history when you close your Internet connection.
