Q: I noticed that Internet Explorer captures all the web addresses that I entered manually into the Address bar. Is there a way to clear them out?

A: If you are a neat-freak or just paranoid you can clear them out. Here’s how:

In Internet Explorer:

1. Tools > Internet Options…

-The Internet Options window appears

2. Click the ‘Content’ tab

3. Click the ‘AutoComplete…’ button

-The AutoComplete settings window appears

4. Click the ‘Clear Forms’ button

5. Click OK

6. Click Apply

7. Click OK (again)

That’s it!

While you are in the AutoComplete window you can also:

-Turn on/off the AutoComplete for Web Addresses

-Turn on/off the AutoComplete for Form

-Turn on/off just the AutoComplete Passwords

-Turn on/off a prompt to save for Passwords

Q: I noticed that Windows remembers the last few programs that I opened and places it just above the START button on the Start menu. Is there a way that I can add specific programs to menu?

A: Yes and the answer is simpler than you may think. Here's how:

1. Press the 'Start' button

2. Click '(All) Programs'

3. Find the program you want to add to the Start menu

4. Right Click on the program

5. Select 'Pin to Start Menu' from the list

That's it!

Now when you need to start your favorite program, it will be waiting for you on the Start menu!

If you need to take it off the Start menu, just Right click on it and select 'Unpin from Start menu'
