Removing items from Drop-Down lists

[John F.]

In Outlook, there are various Drop-Down lists. How do I remove items from
these lists, is it via the Registry?

This is a general enquiry, as other systems (such as e-mailing in NTLWorld)
have Drop-Down lists, items in which I would like to remove.

Most can't be customized, but why don't you tell us which ones you're intersted in?

OK Sue,

This was really a general enquiry.

I use a number of applications, such as www.statcounter.com and
www.ntlworld.com, where I am asked for my Username. For NTLWorld, in
sending e-mails, I have to select addresses from the 'TO' and 'CC' drop-down
boxes. In these boxes, there are a number of old addresses which I would
like to get rid of , mainly as I keep sending e-mails to the wrong selected
address, rather embarrassing.

If you're referring to Outlook's autocomplete feature for email addresses, just use the up/down arrow keys to select the name/address from the list that appears and press Delete.

Internet Explorer's autocomplete cache is kept in "Protected Storage". There are a few PS explorers, such as http://www.tomdownload.com/utilities/uninstallers/protected_storage_explorer.htm
