Hi Everyone
I have XP Pro SP1 and IE6. I have been able to clear the IE6 Address bar
drop down list of the web sites that I have visited but there are still
entries that I cannot clear. I normally use the drop down list when
visiting sites, for instance, if I start typing Google, the list give me
what I am looking for after typing just the <G> but there remain in the drop
down list several files on my laptop that also begin with <G>. How do I
clear them?
I've turned off Autocomplete (that stops the problem but it is merely
inactivated as the rogue entries return when I turn Autocomplete on once
again) and I've cleared the Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and History
from Tools>Internet Options. I've even searched the registry to see if the
files are listed there anywhere but to no avail. I guess that these files
must be listed somewhere in a file that's not being cleared or there is
another setting that I haven't examined. It's almost as if the IE Address
bar drop down list is retaining some other MRU entries or Search entries but
how can that be?
Does anyone have any idea what I should do next? Needless to say, I've
closed down IE (and even turned the laptop off) after turning off all of the
IE6 options and clearing the Temp Files/Cookies etc. before turning
Autocomplete on once again but that didn't work either!
