typed url address...

[Guest]

I have a URL that keeps coming up on my address bar. I've cleared my history
and run the REGEDIT and deleted the "typed urls" under current user. I
didn't see this URL in the History file or in the REGEDIT.

Anyone have an idea of how to get rid of it?

It only appears when you type "www.f"

thanks

Open IE > click tools > options > content > autocomplete > delete forms...
Does that take care of it?

Galen....

Thanks for the help, but this one website address still comes up. Any other
sugestions?

Hi,
This URL is probably in the index.dat file in the History folder.
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Hope this helps,

I take it appears because you are using auto-complete for web addresses.
That feature works off the hidden index.dat file in the History folder.
You'll have to totally nuke the History folder to get it, if clearing your
History via IE's Internet Option doesn't do the trick:
