Does anyone know how to clear the auto complete on the
windows search screen ( not internet). I purchased a used
computer and anytime my kids go to search it pulls up past
search words for things I don't want my kids to see.

Entries for Search or Find in Win Me.
(Start-Search-For Files or Folders)

Remove them from the Registry with Regedit.exe
Start-Run-Regedit
Navigate down to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer
Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}\FilesNamedMRU
Remove the entries.
