Address bar history

[Adam]

I'm sure it is just finger trouble - but when I shut down windows, and
restart, my IE address bar goes blank - ie there are no previously visited
web sites when I click on the drop-down arrow. When I click on the history
icon I can view all the web sites I have visited. During a browsing session
my address bar records all visited sites.

Thanks

Hi Adam

Try the following and see if it helps:

In order for URL's to be saved by AutoComplete, the URL must have been
"typed" in the address bar, or snipped and pasted in the address bar for
AutoComplete to store the URL in your Registry's 'MRU' cache for typed
URL's. If you click a link it does not get added to the Address bar
history.
