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. ]]

UNcheck boxes for the AutoComplete options you do not want to use.
 Web addresses
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to automatically list
suggested Internet addresses as you type them in the Address bar. If you've
visited the Web site before, the AutoComplete feature suggests a match as
you type. You can go to the suggested address by clicking it and then
clicking the Go button.]]
 Forms
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to automatically list
suggested entries when you enter text on Web pages. For example, when you
are prompted to fill in your name, Internet Explorer can list
other name entries you've used before. Then, you can select a suggestion and
enter it by clicking it in the list. The AutoComplete feature can also
provide possible matches when entering searches, stock
quotes, or just about any field on a Web page.]]
 User names and passwords on forms
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to suggest entries for
usernames when you enter them in Web pages, and to automatically fill in the
name's corresponding password if you have previously saved it in Internet
Explorer.
Note: For security reasons, Internet Explorer does not actually display or
list password entries; each character in a password box is represented by an
asterisk ( * ).]]

 Use inline AutoComplete | UNcheck it | Apply | OK.
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to complete entries when you
type Web addresses in the Address bar, based on entries you've used before.
For example, if you start typing http://www.home.micr and you've visited
http://www.home.microsoft.com before, AutoComplete will suggest
"http://www.home.microsoft.com." To view other matches, press the DOWN
ARROW key. After you finish typing a Web address, or when
AutoComplete finds a match, click the Go button.]]

Inline AutoComplete
[[Windows Explorer and the Run box both have AutoComplete capabilities, as
in Microsoft Internet Explorer. There are actually two forms of
AutoComplete. The first is an automatic suggestion, where you get a
drop-down list of sites with the same letters you have typed. The second is
where the line you are typing is automatically completed if you have typed
the same letters before. This is the Inline AutoComplete feature. The
first feature is turned on by default, but Inline AutoComplete is not. ]]

Inline AutoComplete
[[Turned on, this option tells Internet Explorer to complete entries when
you type Web addresses in the Address bar, based on entries you've used
before. You can select the suggested entry by pressing ENTER, or choose
from a list of additional options by pressing the DOWN ARROW key until you
find the one you want, then pressing ENTER. This option can benefit people
with mobility impairments by helping save keystrokes. Users who find inline
AutoComplete distracting can turn it off.]]
