Guest Reg Garbett Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I use MSN rather than internet explorer. When I enter an address i.e. google in the address bar and then click on the green "search web" I can go to the site without problem. The problem I have is that when you enter an address in the address bar a scroll down list comes up under the address bar listing all the sites that I have been to so that you can select one of the listings if you are going to use it again. I have tried to delete this listing without success. I have gone to view history and clicked on view and selected all items listed but still cannot remove the address listing under the address bar. Any help would be appreciated. I contacted MSN and they had me try several things including the history thing and they could not solve the problem either. I have about 30 sites in this list and want to delete them all. -- Reg Garbett

Guest Reg Garbett Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Removing search addresses HI followed the web site that you provided and after downloading found that to open the file I had to have .Net framework version 1.1.4322 on my computer. I do not have .net framework on my computer so went to microsoft and found that there are so many .net framework versions that it becomes confusing. The page now shows version 3.0 I believe ,so don't know if I download this ,which I wonder, will include 1.1.4322. To date I have not had this requirement come up while using the computer so wonder if it is really required. As a result I may pass on this. Your comments please as you are probably more familiar with this .net framework concoction.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Removing search addresses There are three .Net Frameworks currently available. 1.1, 2 and 3. Get them from Windows Updates, using the Custom option. Note that if the app requires v. 1.1, then you have to install that. If it requires v. 2, you have to install that. Versions 2 and 3 do NOT replace earlier versions. Framework 3 will not help if the app requires Framework 1.1. -- Gary S.

Guest Reg Garbett Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Removing search addresses Hi Daave I went to the ccleaner website however it appears that it will clean URL's that are on internet explorer search. Since I do not use internt explorer I don't have the URL problem. I use MSN search exclusively and this is where the URL's are piling up. Will the ccleaner remove the MSN search URL's also or just the internet explorer search URL's. Presently I do not have any on internet explorer since I do not use it.

Guest Reg Garbett Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 RE: Removing search addresses Hi nass followed your instruction however there were no URL's in the right pane. Using the first Hkey item (internet explorer) the wording ab Default type:- REG_Sz Data:-Value not set. Using the second HKEY (Internet settings) it showed "Days to Keep" REG_DWORD 0x and 8 zeros (0). The info at the bottom of the page showed that I had put the info as shown. On the second HKEY (internet Settings) the URL History was shown under Protocols. Clicking on protocols and then URL History made no difference. The first steps that you provided i.e Ctl pnl Network & internet connections did not work either. The "Use inline Autocomplete" was already unchecked. I did uncheck "web addresses and forms" boxes. The info provided was very detailed and I thank you for taking the time to provide the detail. It was very easy for me to follow and I thank you. I appears that I am stuck with this address business so will have to put up with it.

Did a Google search and found this: From http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.msn.discussion/browse_thread/thread/3ef2dad98bdc65c9/b63d75aa2794845d First I'd delete the cookies, temporary internet files, and history. If this didn't work I'd go into the registry (Select Start >> Run "regedit" and find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSN6\Users\%msn-email-address%\Type dURLs and delete everything within it, this will delete the MSN Explorer typed URLS. I'd then repeat this with HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs for Internet Explorer. (This method is worth trying if Ccleaner doesn't help.) Otherwise, there are other utilitities, but they aren't free: TZ Windows Cleaner East-Tec Eraser 2007 ClearAllHistory

Guest Reg Garbett Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Removing search addresses Hi Gary Thanks for your response. I guess that you are correct. Seldom do I use internet explorer however when I went to it ,it was as you say. In the top right corner is the "web search" box. Below on the same page as I have with MSN explorer is the address bar where you enter the wesite you want to go to and to the right you click on the green search box. I entered google in the MSN address bar to see what happened without clicking on search. There was no scroll down of previous address that I had , however they still come up when I go back to the butterfly and bring up the MSN page and enter an address in the address bar. Re the .net framework I will do as you suggest and find version 1.1.4322 and try to get it installed. regards -- Reg Garbett "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: > Again, you are using Internet Explorer.

Guest Reg Garbett Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Removing search addresses Gary I was able to download and install .net framework 1.1 without problem. I tried the crouchie file but it did not remove any addresses from my MSN Explorer. There were not any scroll down addresses when clicking on the MSN address bar while using internet explorer so there was nothing to delete using crouchie.. In Fact with internet explorer I entered google in the MSN address bar and and clicked on the green web search bar and went to the site and then returned to the internet explorer home page and again in the MSN address bar entered google. There was no drop down list that came up.I had expected a scroll down list showing that I had just gone to google but there was nothing. If I had done this on MSN explorer (the butterfly) it would have been added to the ever present scroll down list of addresses. It does appear that I am stuck with these addresses on MSN explorer.Another item that I noted on the addresses that scroll down in MSN explorer is that if I start typing in an address which say starts with the letter "B", immediately the scroll down lists all sites that I have been to that starts with the letter "B". This occurs with any address that starts with a first letter i.e. "F' or "K" etc the scroll down immediately lists all addresses that start with the fiirst letter of the address that I am going to search for. regards -- Reg Garbett "Gary S.

Guest Reg Garbett Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Re: Removing search addresses tried using "crouchie" and it did not work although it may work on internet explorer however I have found that entering addresses on the MSN address bar and clicking on the green search button while in internet explorer the previous addresses when entering a new one do not show up in a scroll down address list. In other words there is no scroll down. Previous addresses do not come up . In MSN explorer however they still come up as a scroll down list. To get the crouchie to download and install I had to install .Net Framework 1.1 which worked ok.

Guest Reg Garbett Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 RE: Removing search addresses hi nass tried your message with the following results:- Clear history and keeping history to zero--I already had done this. re:- empty temporary internet files folder--I had already done this re- close your IE propeerties---etc--did this and cleared temps but it did not help re:- google website--re web forms and web addresses--I had already done what was suggested re:- MSN location I tried the C:\documents and settings etc in search but it would not work. Dialog box came and advised accordingly.(forgot what it said). Tried "run" with same thing. Didn't really know how to go about this one Re-regedit it came up db Default REG_SZ value not set. Nothing there. So my friend I have given up on this problem and will just live with it. When I go to internet explorer and type in an address (google) in the MSN address bar and click on the green search bar I go to the website ok. I hit the back button and come back to the main page and I entered Yahoo in the MSN address bar and clicked on the green search bar and went to Yahoo without problem Using the back button to get back to the main page I entered another google and there was no scroll down page that came up to show that I had already gone to google and yahoo. So this seems to work. Going back to MSN explorer the addresses are still coming up in the scroll down. One thing I noted was when I enter an address in the MSN address bar and as an example the first letter of the address will say is F, the scroll down page comes up and lists all sites that I have gone to all starting with the letter F. This occurs with any other first letter that I use and it shows all sites starting with that letter. If I use a letter that is not the first letter in any addresses previously used then the scroll down does not occur. Thank you for your time and effort spent to try and resolve this problem. It is very much appreciated.
