cleared history, etc, still shows websites....

[george]

i'm using win xp home edition, ie 6 sp1.
i cleared my history, temp files, cookies, autocomplete
forms, and when i type something in the address bar, some
urls still show. and it's been a very long time since
i've been to those websites, and it still shows.
so, how can i delete this? i've also gone through the
registry and i cant see the website (s).
this is where i went:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\TypedURLs

so, how can i delete his?

thanx a lot

george

George,
Possibly your History folder is corrupt:
[XP\2K]
Log on as Administrator and delete the desired <username> folder(s).
[example]
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\HISTORY"

But when i delete the folder that is in my name, nothing
happens. and if i click on the "Administrator" folder,
and try to delete the History folder, it says that it
can't. And i'm the only user in this computer.... what
how do i do it? as you can see, i'm not very into
computers....

thanks,
george
