I would like to stop drop down boxes that appear when I am typing
information.  For example, on google, when I start typing say D, anything I
had looked up beginning with d pops up where you can click on it if you
choose.  I hate that and would like to shut that down.  Help please, I don't
know how??

Open control panel again.  Open Internet Options.  click the Advanced tab.
Scroll down and find  'Use Inline Autocomplete'.  Make sure the box is
unchecked.

By the way, if you haven't done so yet, you also need to Clear the History
by going back to Internet Options.  On the General tab, click clear history.
