address bar clean up

[Guest]

when i start to enter something in the address bar the beginning letter shows
a list of all sites that have been visited beginning with that letter / is
there any way of cleaning or deleting all that history from the address bar?
thanks

Yes when Internet Explorer is open click on tools, internet options, then you
will see where it says clear history. I would also recommned you clean
cookies and maybe even temporary internet files if you have not done so in a
long time.

Tracy,

Bring up the addresses on the Yahoo site by double-clicking in the search
bar. Highlight the addresses you want to delete one at a time and press the
'Delete' key on your keyboard. Or continually hold down the 'Delete' key to
delete all addresses. This works with the Google web site, should work with
Yahoo's also.

1. Open up Internet Explorer
2. Tools -- Internet Options
3. Hit the Content tab
4. Hit the Auto Complete tab
5. Hit the Clear Forms button and uncheck the options if you want to prevent
the searches from showing up again

But are they truly gone...

You UNchecked the WEB ADDRESSES box and clicked the CLEAR buttons, then
restarted IE and found the entries to be gone?
REcheck the WEB ADDRESSES box and look again. The entries may return. They
do here.
