ie history

[Guest]

hello,
i have cleared my history. cleared my cookies and cleared my files.
yet still in my address bar, when i type www.<something>
it still has addresses that get listed in the dropdown.
is there a place these are stored? is there a way to clear them?

thanks

Hi,
These URLs are probably 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:

These may also be Typed URLs, which are stored in the registry. An easy
way to removely these selectively or all at once is with the free program
EditURLs. http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/index.htm

These URLs are probably in the index.dat file in the History folder.
