View Full Version : Address Bar autocomplete has gone, well, wonky

Example: When I typed d into the address bar this morning, this is
what appeared in the drop down list.

D:\
desktop.ini
Documents
Donations
Search for "d"

Donations is a Favorites subfolder. I haven't been on line much this
morning, but checking with other letters I see that visited URLs are
also included. (While trying to figure this out, I cleared various
areas via Internet Options, or I'm sure the dropdown list would be far
more crowded. Also ran sfc scannow.)

At the moment I'm applying one of Kelly's tweaks to stop autocomplete
altogether, but I'd sure appreciate it if someone could supply a
method to limit the Address Bar's function to websites visited. TIA.
