    Just wondering how one goes about stopping my searches and user names from being saved when I'm using internet explorer.

    I'd rather not have my google searches saved, yes it is convenient but I just hate that someone is able to check out what I've been search or see my screen names if they use my computer.... Thanks :)

    I dont think its saving your seaches... I think your talking about auto complete. Just turn off auto complete and clear your history & cookies and you should be all set.

    Firefox has a "clear privacy data every time I close firefox" option that will do the history & cookies for you.

    ^ I'm sure if you burned it to a cd it could.
    Mightn't be too comfortable though <_<
