Autocomplete in Run Command

G

Guest

I have deleted history and cookies in internet explorer and have cleared
forms and passwords in Content, but still have web urls coming up in the run
command autocomplete. Can anyone help? I want to get rid of these urls, so
unchecking the boxes in content won't help.

Thanks,

Those URLs come from the Index.dat.

Sir: You should be able to right click your start menu, click on properties,
click on customize, and click on clear. This will remove all autocomplete
features.

Try this: Right click start menu, Left click on properties, Left click on
customize, Left click clear. This will remove all instances.

That removes the TypedURLs / Recent Documents listing, but does not clear
the URL history in the Index.dat.
