    quit searchin for dirty pictures!

    in firefox, [which you should be using], it's Tools --> Options --> Privacy --> Saved Form Information. click the clear button, or tell it not to save anything at all

    you could also try :

    C:/Documents and Settings/your system name/Application Data --> Microsoft --> Internet Explorer --> UserData

    C:/Documents and Settings/your system name/Application Data --> Mozilla --> Firefox --> Profiles --> ***.default --> Cache

    C:/Documents and Settings/your system name/Application Data --> MozillaControl --> ***.slt --> Cache

    C:/Documents and Settings/your system name/Recent

    hope it is usefull.....:)

    to delete the history in Internet Explorer right click on the Internet Explorer desktop icon -->properties -->General tab -->Clear History-->OK

    to clear the temporary internet files --> Delete Files,Delete Cookies(in the same section).

    to clear AutoComplete:Right click on the Internet Explorer desktop icon -->click properties -->Content tab -->Personal information -->click AutoComplete -->clear forms -->OK.
    You can adjust the options there if you find it necessary....

    There's an extension for firefox simply known as X, which will automatically clear any private information that you choose, such as history, cache, or cookies with one click.
