I have run the standard process for deleting IE History
(Internet Options > General > Clear History), but this is
not clearing History from the Address drop-down as it
should. This occurs whether AutoComplete is on or off.

Please advise if there is an alternate fix to this.
Thank you.
 
Mike,
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"
