How do I delete all the history when I type words into the "search" box.?

Ok, I have typed alot of different things in the "search" bar..and some were very private to do with Xmas gifts etc. For instance I type "womens watches".. now everytime I begin to type in another word with the letter "w", everything I ever typed in using the letter "w" pops up..same as a A-B-or a C. How do I delete these words/history of what I typed in there? PLEASE help.

You didn't tell us what program you are talking about. Do you mean the Yahoo toolbar in Firefox? Internet Explorer? The built-in search area in Firefox? In Firefox you can go to the TOOLS menu and select "Clear Private Data".
Reply:Click on tools tab.Then select delete browsing history.


C program for deleting those words starting with s n ending with letter d in a string without using pointers.?

Without using pointers is not really possible.


You can use the string as an index like this;


if (s[i] == ........


but actually s[i] is still a pointer.


Anyway you can avoid using * and %26amp; this way, if hats what you mean?


Then write your own string search functions.


the standard string search and compare functions are returning pointers.


The more I delete the less free space I have, how do I get rid of the files in the media player?

I rarely use the media player unless an e-mail attachment goes directly there, never download any music or videos, never listen to the radio, why are there so many files there and how do I delete them to hopefully free up more space on C?? The more I delete out of Outlook express the less space I have?? I have defrag, disk, cleanup, emptied recycle, am down to 18%, have system restore at lowest level of restore points, added more RAM, what else is there to try, PLZ and TY.

You may have to go to your C:, Documents/windows/temp folders and ctrl and delete all the files there.
Reply:Try searching for *.mpg, *.mpeg, *.avi, *.mp3 files and delete the ones you don't want. Also you mgiht want to try emptying your junk Folders that are built into windows. What version are you running and i can tell you where to find them.
Reply:you didn't say how large yer drive is, but you can look in add/remove and/or windows explorer in program files to see who the hog is. to delete files in media player just right click and choose delete.


Cleaning up c-drive?

ive got spyware and popups constantly and so i want to clean up my c drive...however i dont want to just go through it and delete a few files i want to basically re-format it...however if i format my c drive will it delete my operating system (vista) or will i still have that after?

Cleaning up c-drive?
If you format a volume or partition (C:, for instance), all data it contains is removed, including your documents, your settings, your programs and, yes, your operating system too.





So usually, formatting the 'system' hard disk drive (the one that contains your operating system) will be done using the installation disk for the operating system you're planning to install after you formatted that drive.
Reply:Yes, you can format your C: Drive but make sure there is no important data as ALL DATA WILL BE LOST on that drive whenever you format a particular drive.





But before formatting you might like to give a try to antispywares and other utilities to clean up your system. Cuz formatting is the last n final option, if nothing works but it is not an answer to everything.
Reply:if you re-format you will still have your OS, but everything will be deleted. to re-format don't you need the Vista cd?





you could just get spybot or adaware to get rid of the spyware. or use disk defragmenter to clean up your c drive.
Reply:Yes it will delete everything on your hard drive. Vista and all, but you should have gotten a restore disk when you got your computer to replace your operating system.

I have two hard drives I need to know how to format c drive?

If C is the drive you're using you can't format it without losing everything.
Reply:you will lose everything on the c drive if you format that drive you may want to norton ghost c to d and then you still have a backup
Reply:ok frist have a windows disk 1.put the disk in drive shut down comp restart and make it "boot from disk (aka.windows)" and run full install and it will ask you if you want to format drive say yes. and if not 2. set the drive as a slave have lenix or some other os (windows) and selected format





hope that helps
Reply:Unfortunately there is no way to format a hard drive without losing all of the data on the drive. This is because a format is a physical reseting of each bit of data to zero. If a reformat is necessary it is advisable to acquire all drivers and burn them all to a disk before you reformat.


Question about C drive?

First of all, on my computer, D drive is the hard drive, and all the programs are stored on it. C drive isn't used much and usually has lots of free space.





Now, though, I keep getting a message saying, "low disc space on C drive". I've deleted everything I can find to delete, and still it says it. What could it be?


Knowledgeable answers appreciated.

Question about C drive?
Your computer is probably processing the information that isnt available for you to see. Microsoft usually installs many large files that constantly update your computer to help in keep working properly.





What you think takes up a huge ammount of room might not be anything at all, but just because you cant see it, doesnt mean its there. Check the My Computer panel and right click on the C Drive. Find out how much space it has in there anyway using the properties option.





If there is a lot of space taken up, enough said. But if there isnt, that means that the program you are trying to download may very ve too big for the C drive. For example, there is only 100 mb left. The program you want has 200 mb. So, you cant download the thing properly.





What you might want is another drive. You can buy them at certain computer stores that have them.





Hope thats helpful!
Reply:the message doesn't appear to be a windows message - could be spyware. spyware would not know that your hard drive is the D drive.
Reply:Either its not xp professional(get at a store about 70 to 100$)or you have something that uses alt of mb).If those dont work get it to a comp professional
Reply:try to check the virtual memory settings on your drive C:, bcoz even if the actual disk space is free but if that free space is given to your virtual memory which taking up all the space, it will still say low disk space, lower down your virtual memory.





virtual memory is at:


right click on my computer


click properties


go to advanced


click performance options


click change


highlight your C: drive and lower the minimum and maximum vortual memory
Reply:Hi there,


Your computer thinks that your program drive is your C drive. You specifically state that it's a D drive, however, I believe that MS is seeing is as the C drive. (the one you have everything installed on.)





Get a program like windows washer, or something else that will clean your excess junk off the drive. Also, doing a defrag may help as well.





Alternately the trial program of system mechanic will also take care of these tasks for you.
Reply:check properties of c drive by right clicking it. see how many bytes are free on c drive. check if sum of used bytes and free bytes is equal to the capacity of c drive or not.if not there might be some bad sectors. so try to run scan disk or format once c: and reinstall all programs again if it is possible for you.


My "delete" button suddenly took the normal place of "reply", what gives?

Is anyone else having this problem? Normally "reply" is on the top left...when I signed on this morning "delete" is now in the top left and "reply" is one space in. Why is this? It's very inconvenient b/c i keep accidentally deleting emails! I restarted my computer thinking it could just be a fluke but its still that way.
