I'm wondering if there is a way to completely clean out
the address bar. I know I can clear the history and the
drop down bar will be empty but if you type in a letter
or word then a list of websites appears as a drop down in
the address bar. Is there a way the clean this out or is
there a folder or file that these address's are kept in
so I can remove them?

Thanks
Patti

Hi Patti,

This process works and clears them from run also:

Clear IE History, Clear the TIF, Clear the RunMRU, Typed URL's and Clear
List (depending on which Start Menu you are using): Right click the Start
button/Properties/Customize/Advanced/Recent Documents/Clear List.
