Removing search addresses

Re: Removing search addresses

Hi Daave

I have tried just everything recommended by the members replying to my

question and none of the things work. Consequently I have given up trying to

get a resolution and will not bother with it any further. I believe the

ccleaner will work ok for internet explorer but not on MSN explorer. Using

MSN address bar and going to wesites while using internet explorer no scroll

down occurs to show the previous sites that I have been to. The problem

appears to be peculiar to MSN explorer.Thanks again for your time and

suggestions

Re: Removing search addresses

Did you try my suggestion using Taskbar and Start Menu dialogue? That's

where you're going to find what you want.

Re: Removing search addresses

HI Gary . I didn't grasp exactly what you were saying and was unable to do

the action. However, I tried one last thing. I put the cursor over one of the

addresses and the address turned blue in color. I rightclicked and I believe

a scroll down came with a delete selection. I cliked on the delete and

nothing happened. So instaed of this I went to the delete button on my

keyboard and held it down and it went thru' all the addresses and cleared

them all. Now no scroll down occurs. All the addresses are gone. I don't know

if I missed something in all your efforts to assist me or not and perhaps

this is just my own stupidity but it appears that the problem is resolved.If

you wish to expand on your latest suggestion I will keep it in mind for

future reference with internet explorer. Thank you again for all your time

and assistance. It is very much appreciated.It really irks me to stumble on

to such a simple solution after all this.

Re: Removing search addresses

Hi again. I tried one last thing to rid myself of the addresses. I put the

cursor over one of the addresses and the address turned blue in color. I

right clicked the address and I believe a scroll down came up which showed a

delete action. I clicked on it and nothing happened. I then went to my

keyboard and held down the delete button. Immediately it ran thru each

address and cleared each one. Now There is no scroll down when I enter an

address in the address bar. All addresses are gone Again thank you for your

assistance.

Regards

Re: Removing search addresses

In Control Panel, there is an item called Taskbar and Start Menu (switch

Control Panel to Classic view to see it more easily.) Open that, then click

on the Start Menu tab at top. Click on the Customize button next to the menu

style that you have ticked, then click either the Clear or the Clear List

button. It's a LOT faster than your method, which we recommend to edit the

list rather than clear it completely.

Re: Removing search addresses

I tried one last thing in an effort to clear the addresses. I put the cursor

over an address and it turned blue in color. Right clicking on the address

brought up a scroll down which had a delete function on it. I cliked on it

and nothing happened. So I went to the keyboard and held down the delete

button and immediately it ran through each one in succession and eliminated

them all. Now when I enter an address the scroll down does not come up as

there are no addresses left. Again thank you for your assistance.

Re: Removing search addresses

One last shot - Software tool with 15 day free trial:

http://www.morun.net/www/delete-history-free/delete-search-history.html

I have not used this software but take a look and see if it will do the

trick.

Re: Removing search addresses

Glad you got rid of the problem. Received this post a little to late and

posted a software package.

Re: Removing search addresses

Anote to advise you that I was able to finally get the addresses deleted. I

put the cursor over an address and it turned into a blue color. I right

clicked and a scroll down showed delete so clicked on it and nothing

happened. I did this a day or so back. Thought that I would try it again

however the same happened. This time however after putting the cursor on an

address and having it turn a blue color I pressed my delete button on my

keyboard and immediately it ran through all addresses deleting each one. I

entered an address in the address bar and no scroll down came up. All

addresses were gone. Thank you for your time and consideration in trying to

help me with this problem. I couldn't believe that such a simple thing

actually deleted all the addresses. Thank you again for your time and

interest.
