First off, I am using Internet Explorer.
I have my homepage set to Yahoo.
In the yahoo search box, if I start to type it brings up a box of recent searches that are similar in spelling.
How do I reset or delete these recent searches? I have misspelled alot of what I search for, and it is more of a nuisance than a help to me.
Or even better, how do I turn off this feature?

Wife and I are the administrators on the computer. The kids have limited accounts. One of the kids has found a way to make their "My Documents" folder invisible to us.
We can still navigate to the folder by rooting around in the C drive so it is no big deal but I am baffled as to why it won't show up for me,I can't get it to show up under "My Computer" with the rest of the "My Documents" folders.
All the accounts are set to show ALL files. Any ideas?

I'm getting another computer that's the same make and model I have now. I have recovery disc but what I want to do is turn the new one into a twin with exactly the same stuff that is in this one.

Keep it simple as I'm an idiot on this stuff.0 -
I use Microsoft Office 2007 (Microsoft Word and Excel). When I installed Office 2007 I was using Microsoft Works 2000 (Word Processor and Spreadsheet). I didn't know if there would be a conflict between them so I cleaned out Microsoft Works before I installed Microsoft Office.
Now I have the same problem in reverse. I have some archived files that Office 2007 can't open because they are written in Works 2000.
If I install Works 2000 with Office 2007 installed will my computer explode or what?0 -

computer question:
I had to replace a case fan in my computer cause I heard a weird noise and determined a blade is cracked. The bummer is that is was in a tediuos metal enclosure and you had the take off and install so may hard to reach screws to replace the fan.
Long story short; I do not know if I accidently shorted out the board or if its a hard-drive problem, but when I go to start up my computer it comes to the screen that says press 'del' for setup, ctrl + z for ez flash bios etc.... When that screen appeares it just stays there for an abnormally length of time. It would only stay on that screen for 2-3 seconds at most, not it can take two to three minuters or longer to get to the WIN 7 welcome screen.
The odd thing is every function on my computer seems to be fine, just the start-up takes waaaay too long.
Did I short out a component?
Is my hard-drive to blame?
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. I have my HD split into 2 partitions, and I did a clean install of the partition where the OS is, but the same problem still occurs.0 -
The bearings are going bad on my laptop graphics card cooling fan so that it's making a really annoying buzzing sound.
How likely am I to burn up the graphics card if I run the computer without the fan for a couple weeks until a replacement arrives?

My old Dell is acting up! I try to run microsoft word, works , my photo software etc, and it locks up! Some time I get a message that memory is low. I check my memory on the system settings icon and it says It's around 72 percent, which isn't bad!!
I did a disc check, I ran defrag, I cleaned up old files and removed them, any ideas or is it time for a trip to the shop!!

Some pictures ar blocked by my computer. Is it the Outlook Express or the Norton doing the blocking???
Most pictures come through but if someone forewards an email with pictures it says that they were blocked to keep someone from identifying my computer.
How do I turn this off so I can get the pictures???0 -
This hurts the pride a bit since I'm a computer tech, but recently my wife somehow got only one of our cd-rom's views set like this:
I've tried resetting the view, I've tried going to the other views and "apply to all folders"... Nothing! It is simply seperated by alpha letters and I don't see where that's an option. She thought she clicked by the name column in the normal view to sort by name. All I know is I've never seen this in all my years as a tech... [V]0
