Can you delete the records when you go to search for files and folders?

Hi
Please can someone tell me how to delete the search records/queries when you have done a search for files and folders in the start menu. I have been trying for two hours and have had no joy.

I would be very grateful if you can help me!!!!!!

Many Thanks
ANDY

Don't make multiple posts

To clear the search history:

The easiest way to clear the Windows XP history of searched files and folders is:

1. Copy / Paste the following to an ACMRU.reg file:

REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5603]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5603]

2. Merge the ACMRU.reg file with your registry.

Actually the easiest way is

Control Panel

Internet Options

Clear History

This will clear the searches as well.
