Clearing the address bar

[Guest]

Is there anyway to completely delete all the websites that are in my address
bar? I have gone to internet options and tried deleting cookies, temporary
files, and cleared the history. However, some of the addresses remain. Is
there anyway to clear the entire history?

You can do it manually. Hoover the mouse over the top address. It will
highlight and then hit the Delete key. Just keep tapping Delete as they will
move up by themselves.

Hi i tried that and it sill didnt delete the address completely from my
computer. i tried deleting it by going to the folders and internet options
and by deleting one by one. but it comes to one address in which i highlight
choose to delete, accept to delete and the page address doenst delete at all.

Apparently it is not that straightforward.

Think about this particular URL. Did you use it for entering form data?
Is it in your Favorites? Etc.

This program can do it for you: EditURLs.

Or manually:

Hi Sandra - To delete ALL Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and
download and install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm See below for Selective Delete.

You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelSearchMRU.inf

Note: this does not remove entries entered via AutoComplete. To remove
hidden AutoComplete entries in History:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm#AutoComplete


IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are CLOSED before you do
the install of this (these) .inf files. Otherwise the "old" entries will
just be re-written back to the Registry when you close IE.

A nice alternative just for selective of all Address (not Search) history
maintenance is EditURLs, here: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/ Here also,
you must close ALL instances of IE6 for the deletions to "take".
