How to delete history from address bar

[Guest]

When I clear history and delte files and cookies through internet options I
still it seems it does not clear everything. I still have some web addresses
appear in the address bar on Explorer. What can I do to delete everything?

Thanks

Hi Chuck

You don't mention the version of WIndows you are using so I can only take a
guess at a suggestion. Try the following and see if it helps:

These URLs you're seeing are in the index.dat file in the History folder.
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm
will delete the History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will
be created when you restart.

Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

also.....

CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/
should be able to clear the History and the index.dat file.
Just check the appropriate boxes and run it.

Hope this helps.

IE6 is the version of IE you are using, not the version of Windows. Do you
have Windows '95, '98, '98se, ME, or XP??? It can make a difference.
