I'd like to edit (actually, just remove at this time) some
AutoComplete Form entries. Some of these are typo's
whereby I spelled an entry incorrectly or entered a wrong
number, but the AutoComplete feature still displays them.

How can these be edited? I have no problems using
RegEdit, file tools, or even hex editors, so ANY solution
would be great. I just would prefer not to lose all of my
existing GOOD entries, which will happen if I delete all
the existing entries.
 
Hi Bill - 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.
