after i delete cookies, temp internet, and history some
websites still appear when i start typing in my address
bar. they don't appear when i select the address bar drop
down arrow but they do if i start typing in the address
bar. how can i delete all pages?
 
Eric,
These are coming from the index.dat file in the History folder.
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Additional advice:
You might (or might not) want to turn off Autocomplete (inline) from Tools>
Options> Advanced and/or Options> Content> Autocomplete. I like Inline
Autocomplete- not everyone does.

Don
