Okay....I want to know how to delete previous searches from google...My girlfriend and I are now living together, and she is indeed using this computer!  OUCH!

For example when I type the letter D in google, everything I have ever searched for starting with the letter D pops up in a window...how do I get rid of that?

Hmm...what can you be hiding that starts witth the word D....Donkey?


I can only delete them when something on my computer breaks...or Winblows takes a dump...so take a dump out your window.

Create a seperate user account for her and make yours the "Admin" and hers just a simple user.

simple... when you pull up goggle click in the search box.. everything should pop up in alphabetical order... then all you have to do is put the mouse curser over it and then hit away at the delete key..

Hi Cav,

This is unsolicited advice, but in the long-term neither the living together or the attempt to hide searches for Pr0n, old girlfriends, meth cooking instructions, local singles sites, etc. will work out. They all slowly destroy trust, break-down intimacy, and kill relationships and all of them inevitably spoil a marriage.

But if you are determined to try, judging from anecdotal counseling evidence, the best method for hiding your internet activities is third party software like System Mechanic which comprehensively erases your tracks and shreds the recycle bin. However, If she's at all PC savvy, she'll figure out something's wrong, these days a spotless computer is usually a bad sign...

As a counterpoint, I lived with my then-girlfriend for several years before we got married.  We're still perfectly happy.  I know plenty of couples who didn't live together prior to marriage who ultimately ended up divorced.   There are larger factors at work.  A relationship will work if you want it to, whether you sign the paperwork at the courthouse or not.

I am pron, therefore I do not view pron.  Also, I'd be divorced 4 times by now had I not lived with 4 prior girlfriends before finding the one that I was compatible with...thank God (excuse the pun) for modern day relationships not based on a best seller.

I use Firefox at work.  

Under Preferences, Saved Forms there is an option to clear autofill forms and searches.

At home I use Intardnet Explorer, but I can't remember if I even have autofill turned on or how to clear that...
