Windows XP??

Somebody changed SOME setting on my Internet Explorer, and now everything you enter, in a search field or a log in field gets saved (pulls a drop down list). I Dont want that shyt on my computer.. I was thinking it was a setting in the Tools.. but I cant seem to figure out which one it is if it is one of them. Anybody got know?

It's the "History" setting under the "General" tab in Internet Options-- just select "0 days" and that will stop recording your website history in the pull-down list.

Oh, and yes, Firefox FTW!

Firefox is great! You can also tell the Firefox browser to clear your history every time you close the browser window. That way if you're married and like teh pr0n you won't get caught*

*unless you're a dumbass and you leave the browser open!

So you are willing to take time out of your day to deal with the stress of IE rather than take less than 5 min to download a browser that will end your misery? It take less time to reply on this forum to download firefox...

Here is the link to download, just click it and your download will pop up, its that simple!

http://download.mozilla.org/?product...win&lang=en-US

Glad to hear.

When I first d/l FF it would crash at least 5 times a day, IE does that as well. So I just keep using IE. Plus it was a pain in the ass to d/l all the plug-ins I needed. I'll try FF when my MBP get here, :shrugs:
