How to selectively delete address bar URL entries

Bill · Nov 29, 2003

would like to selectively remove several URL entries from
the Explorer address bar ... any know how?

This Utility: DelTypedURL
Removes the URL's from the Address Bar drop-down list without deleting the
Internet Explorer History.

Bill,
DelTypedURL will remove them all. I learned that the hard way ;-o

See: 157729 - How to Clear the History Entries in Internet Explorer:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q157729
for manual removal methods.
IE Address Bar Editor: http://www.freesoft.fsnet.co.uk/ieedit01.htm makes
this a little easier.

If you type in URLs via File> Open they won't end up in this list and you
can keep just a select few URLs in the Address Bar dropdown.

Did you try to PING Mike Burgess about your difficulties?

No, I did not contact Mike. I believe that DelTypedURL is *intended* to
remove all typedurls from that registry key.

I looked at the note on the site. It could be interpreted both ways.
Or maybe I'm reading it wrong.
