Delete IE file>open history

[Guest]

I'm scratching my head over this one. I can clear my IE 6 history, cache,
and cookies, but when I go to File > Open, it still contains a record of
recently opened files, including visited web sites, which it auto suggests.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this history list?

Click tools on the IE main toolabr. From the drop down menu select Internet
Options. Next click the Content tab. On the content tab click the Auto
complete button. When the auto complete window opens remove the check mark
next to the 'web addresses' option and then click OK followed by OK again to
close internet options.
You might also like to try CCleaner (crap cleaner) www.ccleaner.com This is
freeware and will quickly delete temporary internet files, cookies, history,
recently used web site etc.

To remove an AutoComplete entry from a Web form, highlight the item in the
AutoComplete dropdown and press the Delete key.

To remove all Web form AutoComplete entries, go to the Internet Explorer
Tools menu, select Internet Options, Content, AutoComplete, then press the
"Clear Forms" button.

From IE Help...

To delete Autocomplete entries from the Address bar list

[[The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web
addresses, forms, and passwords. To delete entries from the Address bar, you
must clear your History folder. You cannot clear individual entries from the
list of saved entries.

1. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
2. Click the General tab.
3. Under History, click Clear History.

Notes
When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove
an item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing
the DELETE key. ]]
