Hi RealBlackStuff,
Thanks for your suggested solution! I installed MSUTweek and selected the 'Paranoia' tab and then selected 'Clear Find Files history at logon' but for some reason still no joy :-( Even when I click the button 'Clear Selected Items Now', still nothing happens. When I key a letter in the search files text box all past words I keyed appear on a scroll down. Any ideas why this is not working? Cheers
