Cleaning up the "autocomplete" entries

[AK]

Over time, I have built up a lot of autocomplete entries that no longer
apply, or were even entered in error.

Is there a way to selectively remove the ones I don't want?

I am reluctant to hit the "internet options/autocomplete/clear forms or
clear passwords" buttons since I assume (maybe I'm wrong?) would erase all
my entries.

Thanks

Alan

Right click delete does not clear auto-complete entries. You have to clear
them from within IE options, in the auto-complete section.

There is no way to pick and choose which to remove(maybe a registry edit can
do it, but I don't know of one). I think it's all or none.

That did it!

Thanks for the tip

If the right click does not work (it does not work for me), move the mouse

over the entry that you want to delete so that it's highlighted (do not
click on it) and press the delete button on your keyboard

My reply from yesterday doesn't seem to have made it - so - thanks again !
Your advice did the trick for me.
