Deleting links/addresses from the drop down address bar

I have a few links from a website which keeps popping up in my drop down
address bar. It's is not even the proper website address but just links from
the website. I have cleared the history, disabled the autocomplete (but when
I turn it on again, the addresses pop up again), unchecked the inline
autocomplete in the advanced tab, logged on as a different administrator,
look it up in the registry keys (but there was nothing there), downloaded and
ran the Privacy Keeper and the CC Cleaner, started in safe mode and tried to
delete the history, and highlighted it and pressed shift + delete, but
nothing seems to clear it!

Does anyone have an idea how I can try and delete those addresses? Please!

Thanks Hildegard

PS I work on Windows XP Home Edition 2002 Service Pack 2
 
Actually, the registry key you're looking for is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Each typed URL is a string value in this key... Just delete them or edit
them so they are spelled right next time...

Hope this helps... Never worked in XP Home, but it should be close enough to
search for in the registry.
 
Hi! Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I have already looked in that key
but there is nothing there, only the default value.

Any other suggestions?
