Recently, a friend of mine created a new Gmail account that included her full name instead of a generic screen name she had been using for the last several months. She called me up and ask me how she could move emails from one Gmail account to another.

Previously, I wrote a post on how to clear your Google search history in Internet Explorer. This was useful, but it didn’t quite tell the whole story. Depending on what software you have installed on your computer, your web history may be stored in several different places on your computer.
If you want to permanently delete your Google search history, check out the following video I created a while back and posted to YouTube. I’m going to be experimenting with creating how-to videos and posting them on the site once a week.
