Default Smart Box

Every time I type in a web address, previous web addresses will appear under
the display window. How do I delete previous entries in the smart box when
using the internet? I do not want anyone to know where I've been on the
internet.

Then you also have to contend with the "History" that IE keeps. Check the
history button to see what I mean.

If that is the case than you might be better to invest in a program to do
the cleaning for you. I don't have experience with may but beware of so
called "Free" security / privacy software that is in fact spyware, there is
a lot of it about.

I can suggest one package called from www.nsclean.com that you can check out
for info even if you don't buy the product, I know the author and can vouch
for his honesty, but before installing others wait for more opinions.

Tools>internet options>content will get you to the autocomplete settings
which you can turn off, but the history won't go away if you do that

In IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, Clear History. Set the "days to
keep pages in History to zero if you wish. While your there, you may as
well clear your Temporary Internet files, and dlete your cookies.
The "Smart Box," is actually called the Address Tool Bar.
Best,
