deleting past address bar searches

R

Rick

Can Anybody out there tell me how to delete previous
address bar searches. You know how sometimes you like to
type in the exact web address. Now my drop down window
is too full. I would like to eliminate some of the
previous searches. If someone could help I would be very
grateful. Thank you.
