Auto Complete

[KYdude]

When Auto Complete is turned on for the IE address bar, a
few random sites that I visit frequently are somehow saved
as an auto complete entry.

But, these addresses aren't in my favorites folder. They
also appear after I delete the contents of my history
folder (and it comes up clear) and my cookies.

How do I delete these sites?

I have this same problem! I have removed all temporary
files/history/cookies thru IE6 and performed the
procedure manually. Yet I cannot stop IE6 autocompleting
URLs for old sites.

Anyone have a solution?

Hi,
You probably have corruption in your 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,
Don

I've noticed this too. I always assumed it was because
the page author used the same variable name for the field
as an another AutoComplete page. Not sure how to delete
it.
