Well,

When you go to a web site and you are typing
something (Ex. Google Web Search) and you can type
something (Ex. W and a list comes down and says windows
xp windows media center ect.) What ever you have typed in
the past will show up in that list. I would like to erase
this list and start fresh becuase there is a loooong
list. How do you clear it. I have deleted History &
Cookies and it's still there. Please Help! Kayle
 
Everything you always wanted to know about "autocomplete"
***but were afraid to ask...!!!!

Kayle,
Open Internet Options and choose the "Content" tab. There
are 3 sections, go to 3rd section, Personal Information.
Click the "Auto Complete" button to change the
settings/clear history.

Hi Kayle - To delete Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and download
and install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelSearchMRU.inf

Note: this does not remove entries entered via AutoComplete. To remove
hidden AutoComplete entries in History:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm#AutoComplete


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".
Recommended.
