Silly question - Why don't I see any previous URLs when I click the
'down-arrow' on the address line?
 
Hi DGust :-)

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, which really is a
must when asking for help in the newsgroups, but, try the following as it
may apply to your OS and see if it helps:

In order for URL's to be saved by AutoComplete, the URL must have been
"typed" in the address bar, or snipped and pasted in the address bar for
AutoComplete to store
the URL in your Registry's 'MRU' cache for typed URL's.

If you want the see all the pages you went to, including with search
engines, click on the History icon in the toolbar.

Or....click the link to open it, then copy the URL in the Address Bar and
close the site. Then paste the URL into the Address Bar and click GO. That
will open the site and add the URL to the History and it will then show in
the dropdown list.

However, if you have your History set to keep files for only so many days it
will be flushed from the History file at the end of that time.

If you have McAfee running:

Turn off the ActiveX part of McAfee's Internet Filter


Hope this helps.
