Prevent Win7 record search history

  
        

The search history problem of the Windows 7 Explorer that I want to talk about today is related to the privacy of the user. Windows 7's powerful search function is quite easy to use, but the trouble is that all search history will appear in the drop-down list box. If you are using a public computer, security and privacy are a problem.
We can solve it in two ways, one manually, one is to use the software, note that if your system is Windows 7 Home Basic Edition, you need to use third-party software to set up is relatively simple.
First, manually modify the Win7 system group policy settings

In the Start menu of the Windows7 system, enter gpedit.msc in the "Search" box and press Enter (or Win key + R key) Open the Run window to enter), open the "Local Group Policy Editor" window, and then click "User Configuration & Rarr; Administrative Templates & Rarr; Windows Components & Rarr; Windows Explorer", found in the right pane "&ldquo ; Close the display of the recent search entry in the Windows Explorer search box, double-click to open the Properties window, select “Enabled” here, the confirmation will take effect, and the search history will not be saved automatically in the future. It is.
Tip: When you close your search history, you won't see the search suggestions when you search. In addition, if you need to delete the history in the address bar, just right-click on the address bar and select the “delete history” command from the shortcut menu to clean it up.
Second, use Win7 optimization master to prohibit these functions

If you use Windows7 Home Basic Edition, there is no group policy, you can add this function from Windows7 Optimizer 1.3, you can disable the system automatically Record the search history of the resource manager. Click on the top & system settings & rdquo;, then click on the left side of the "System Settings", the right side of the "System Settings" (this should be renamed to the Explorer settings), and then check the last one: "&ldquo ; prohibit the Explorer from searching for records &, and don't forget to click the "Save Settings" button in the lower right corner.
This way, Windows 7 Explorer can also be banned from recording search history and protecting personal privacy.
