Answer
it takes more than just clearing history
which is what most people think is the solution
do the following and you will have no worries
open your browser
click tools up top
click internet options
click clear history
change the days to keep history to 0
click delete files
click settings change the amount of disk space to use to 1mb
click ok
now click the content tab
click auto complete
click clear forms
then where it says use autocomplete for uncheck all the things you dont want your browser to store.
that way you wont have to keep going back and clearing things out. good luck

How do I put a password on my computer so others can't access my info?
Amy B
I have Windows XP, and I know I have to start with the control panel; is that the screen I access by clicking on the start button in the lower left corner of my screen? When I do, a screen pops up that has Windows Excel, and Microsoft Word on it, and on the right are listed My Documents, Favorites, and My Network Places. What I am not able to find is the User Accts. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten that far in computer class! Thanks.

Restricting access to your computer:
Most computers allow creating a BIOS password. Without a password your DVD/CD or floppy drives can not be used to boot the computer or reinstall Windows, bypassing all your Windows passwords. It also prevents the hard drives from being used, preventing entering Windows âsafe modeâ which can be used to modify your passwords.
The bios password can often be easily defeated.
Add a password to the BIOS.

Windows XP passwords:
All accounts must have passwords. Each person must have a separate username and password to sign on the computer. You must have an âAdministrativeâ account. Everyone else should have âRestricted Accessâ accounts.
Do not enable automatic logon.
