How do you delete the items in the drop down box of
the "Search the Web" box on the home page of Internet
Explorer. I have quite a list and would like to eliminate
them. I have tried going to internet options and click
clear history of recently visited web sites, but that
does not help. Can you please help me.
Thanks

Hi Tim and Dick - 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. Otherwise they'll just get
reset in the Registry when IE is closed.

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". Recommended.
