History Bar Includes File Paths

When the down arrow is clicked in the address bar to list all of the previous
website accessed, it also lists paths to files that have been accessed. Why
is that and how can I prevent it?

Thanks,

Hi,
Are you accessing these files from the IE Address Bar? I think that's the
only reason that they would be in the TypedURLs list.

Here's an explanation of the TypedURLs registry keys, including editing
information:

Or, either of these freeware programs will help you safely and easily remove
selected entries.
