lol, this is an idea

why dont you create two accounts yeh...so that after you finish on your proper account, then logout, login in to your second account(make sure the username isnt "iffy") and then logout back out again

lol, you have to be desperate to do that though....thats like, worse case scenario....final protoocal ;D

What's 'iffy' about your username? Is it badly spelled or something?

Btw, saying 'I dont want ppl checkin up on meh (get meh)' is bound to make people curious to try and check up on you.

This depends on which internet browser you use.
For IE7: On top left click Tools -> Internet options -> "general" tab -> browsing history: "Delete" -> Delete Forms
For firefox: On top left click Edit -> preferences -> "Privacy" tab -> private data: "settings" -> Make sure the following are ticked: "browsing history; cookies; saved form information; cache" -> ok -> then in previous window click: Private data: "clear now"

If this doesn't work, there's an alternative, first run windowsexplorer and go to:
c:\Documents and settings\[the name of your useraccount]\ snoop around a bit the files that keep this information should be in that folder somewhere. I forgot the exact location and I can't go check since I don't have windows installed. But it's probably in a directory like \IE7\history or something like that. If you can't find it, just delete the whole IE directory (don't worry, windows will build a new one so there's no harm).

If you don't have access to any of those things, then there's no way to delete it. For future reference, maybe try setting the options of the explorer so that it doesn't store forms before you start searching. You could also use lesser known search engines. Here's a list:http://win3.1.freeservers.com/psearch.htm That way at least your search querrys won't pop up every time someone types in something in Google. And you can only get burned if someone actually starts checking up on the saved forms.

1 second...there is no problem because...as you say you have seperate accounts right?

so when you turn on your computer at university, you have to log on to your own area...otherwise you cannot get onto the computer, yes?

well if this is the case, then you have no need to worry, because it remembers your LI username on your area, so if for example, someone else loaded up LI, then they would not see "your username" because they logged into a different account at the beginning

you get me?
