If you're using IE, try Mozilla instead. It'll solve all yer IE problems

OK, so a bit of help here. What browser, which search engine(s)?

It is what it's.

What you want to turn off is auto-complete.. in IE go to Tools->Options->Advanced and it should be in there under the Browsing section

I think that would be the AutoComplete "feature" in IE.
You can turn it off under "Content" in options.
Also, I think perhaps pressing the Del/Delete key when a menu item is highlighted deletes individual entries.

/edit Kali beat me to it.
