Protect the privacy of your Explorer searches.



When you search through your PC from Windows Explorer, you can see the most recent searches that have been performed. If you share a PC and don't want others to see what you've searched for, you can turn off the recent searches feature:


  • Click on Start > Run OR press Windows-key+R. 
  • Type GPEDIT.MSC and press Enter to run the Group Policy Editor.
  • Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer.
  • Double-click "Turn off display of recent search entries in the Windows Explorer search box"
  • Select Enabled from the window that appears. Then click OK.
