erasing auto complete history in the web address bar

[todd shaddock]

Does anyone know how to erase the web sites that the auto
complete function presents as options below the address
bar?
EX. I type in the letter "h" into the address bar and all
of the web sites that I have visited that start with that
letter are listed below.

I already tried to erase cookies, files, and history...I
also tried to arrow down to the addresses and hit delete
but that did not work either. Please advise.

Thanks,
Todd Shaddock

This is from a previous posting that I just found......

its simple, Tools, internet options, Content,
AutoComplete then Clear Forms! No need to do anything
confusing!
