Clear search history

When I do that I can clear the browser history but not the
Yahoo search history. It is the Yahoo history that I am
trying to clear.
 
Hi Tom - To delete Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and download and
install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL .inf:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/download.htm

You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf here also to eliminate the Search Drop
Down history.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are CLOSED before you do
the install of this(these) .inf files.

A nice alternative just for selective or all Address (not Search) history
maintenance is EditURLs, here: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/ Here also,
you must close all instances of IE6 for the deletions to "take".

Hi Jim -
My OS is Windows 98. I closed Internet Explorer before
right clicking and selecting install. I didn't get an
error message but nothing else seemed to happen either.
