Hi,
Regarding grayed out History settings:
Run regedit and check these two keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions[
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions[
for the value (right pane) "Btn_History"
If found, modify the value from 1 to 0 (zero)
Also, in this key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel] the History value (right pane) should be 0 (zero)
If that registry restriction isn't found, are you running any third-party
programs that would be "protecting" the history?
The TypedURLs in the Address Bar are stored in the registry. Some methods of
clearing history delete them- some don't.
This article explains the TypedURLs history:

Removing some or all entries is an easy registry edit.
For an easier, safer removal method, go to
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
and download "DelTypedURL." This INF file will remove all entries.
These two freeware programs will remove some or all entries:
