Default Getting rid of history...for good!!!!

How do I get rid of history ....completely....for good? Going to internet options and deleting history there only deletes the drop down arrow. However, if you type the right letter of a site you have visited it is still in there. For instance, if I am buying my wife a gift from Neimans (yeah right) and I delete history it wont come up if you hit the little arrow. However, if she comes in and accidently types www.n it will automatically show Niemans website. How can I get rid of the sites for good?

go to internet options > content tab > autocomplete > and turn off and clear forms and web addresses.

All set.

Thats how to do it. If you do it right they will remove.
