Address bar clear history

[Guest Tonder]

right, we can clear the history in Internet Options, but on the address bar

the url continues to display in the pull down. I try to hit the delete key

but that does not clear them like it does in the pull down for the search.

Ok techies, bring me up to speed please.

 

BTW still lingering is why everytime my IE7 opens it asks for a skin type....

 

All the best.

Take a look at CCleaner as a tool to remove Internet history info, cookies,

temp files, auto complete and other junk. In the 'Windows' tab listing check

the item types you want deleted.

Also available is customization, see Options/Custom to add any

other/additional folders you want files deleted from.

Thanks JS, ran the CCCleaner which did not affect the address bar, the prior

URL addresses are still shown in IE7. In Firefox this is not an issue.

Hmmm....

Re: Address bar clear history

 

You could use regedit search for and delete the Address Bar entries in the

registry. I use IE6 and these entries are found in the following location:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs\url1 thru url25

 

You can delete the entry and leave it blank or replace it with another url

entry.
