web addresses appearing in address bar...

[dented]

My son loves to frequent poker web-sites. Some of these can be shady
Now, whenever I type "www.t" in the address bar, one of these we
sites always comes up in the drop down box as if it was in th
history of sites visited. No matter how many times I erase th
cookies and history, get rid of spyware, and anything else, I stil
can't get this website out of the drop down address box

Any ideas on what to do

Hi dented

Try the following and see if it helps:

Courtesy of Jim Byrd -

To delete ALL Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and
download and install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm See below for Selective Delete.

You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelSearchMRU.inf

Note: this does not remove entries entered via AutoComplete. To remove
hidden AutoComplete entries in History:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm#AutoComplete

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are CLOSED before you do
the install of this (these) .inf files. Otherwise the "old" entries will
just be re-written back to the Registry when you close IE.

also....

CCleaner (Free)

or

Hope this helps.
