Address Bar History

Hello. I can't seem to erase old website history from my
address bar. I'm not talking about the pulldown screen on
the far right of the bar, that works fine. It's when I
type in a website address, a list of websites starting
wtih those letters come up. Ex. type in www.b a list of
sites starting with www.b come up. The thing is when I
clear history there seem to be a few sites that are not
cleared no matter what. How do I get rid of those sites?

Thanks,
Jon

anybody have any more suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the file link, but that does not seem to
work either. Whenever I right click and press install,
nothing happens. I entertained the idea that maybe it had
installed, it just only took a second, but it still
didn't solve my problem. Should the file be saved in a
certain folder, or there any other steps that I should
know that would make it work?

I've never used this because the first thing I did was
stop the history.

DelTypedURL [right-click and select: Save Target As]
Save to desktop.
To use: right-click and select: Install

Removes the URL's from the Address Bar drop-down list
without deleting the Internet Explorer History.
Note: this does *not* remove entries entered via
AutoComplete.
