Clearing AutoComplete...

[Sean]

Well, I've tried everything I can, and I still can't clear
the list that AutoComplete uses. Example: even after
clearing my History, the site url still appears when I
partially type it. What's going on? I found the URL in
the USER.DAT file, so if I replace or delete the URL
there, will it fix the problem or mess up Windows? Any
help would be greatly appreciated. -Sean

Sean,
These URLs are in the History\index.dat file.
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:
