some URL's won't go away

I've tried clearing history in IE but several URL's won't
go away. Autocomplet pops them up when I enter url's
with matching characters...e.g www.b then all the B....
show up. Where do I look to find/delete them? I have
IE6 and xp

Hi Merlin,

The TypedURLs can be deleted from registry. Or, Use MRUClean (~40k) and clear the entries.
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/utils/MRUClean.exe

[Clears WMP, DAP, Common Dialog box, Find Files, Recent Docs, Typed URLs, Excel, Word, Winzip, Real Player, Google Toolbar history, Netmeeting Call History]

If this does not help, delete the History folder and index.dat:
