When I start typing in a web site address in my address
bar, it pulls up a list of sites/documents that begin with
the same character. Can I delete items from the list? I've
tried clearing Explorer forms, deleting history, etc., and
nothing seems to work for some of them.

Highlight the ones you don't want and press the Delete key

Damarch,
I can't find your original message or the reply. What have you tried? Which
entries won't clear?
