i've got the same exact problem as the original poster. i've followed
your instructions exactly (multiple times) and i see exactly the same thing
he does. i think we're on the right track, but all i see is: AB [on a
small page icon](default) REG_SZ [under the type coumn] and (value not set)
[under the data] column.
any suggestions?
thanks for your help!

There are several "TypedURLs" keys in the registry.
Let's assume you some how ended up in the wrong one and try again.
Run Regedit
Be sure there is a check mark next to "Status Bar" on the "View" menu.
On the left hand side scroll all the way to the top.
Select the My Computer icon.
(The status bar should say My Computer.)

Find what: TypedURLs
Look at
x Keys
Values
Data
Click the "Find Next" button.
When the search is complete, what do you see in the status bar?
If you don't see
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
press F3 and search again.
Did you find the entries you're looking for?
Bob
there is only one file in it, called (default) and it says there are no
values. There are no others with numbers, as you suggested. Meanwhile the
addresses keep autofilling. Am I missing something?the URL bar, it stops offering me old addresses I no longer want. I have
tried telling it to clear history, using tools, internet options, general,
but it has no effect - the old addresses keep appearing. What do I do?
