I am trying to clear the web address history but a couple
of addresses are still showing up after I use the "clear
history" button under tools. How do I clear all of them?
 
Martin,
With no IE windows open, try it from Control Panel> Internet Options>
General> Delete files & Delete all offline content.

These entries might be in the registry in a TypedURLs key:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q157729
DelTypedURL.inf from http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelTypedURL.inf will clear
this list.
EditURLs from http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/index.htm will clear selected
entries.

You might need to delete the damaged History folder- a new one will be
created on restart.

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder in Windows 9x,2K, XP.

Another program might be locking your history.
