When I type in the address line I get the Auto Complete scroll thing like
usual and past websites I've been too etc. For example when I type in g and
the websites starting with the letter g pop up. My question is, how do I
clear the memory for that? I tried deleting cookies, temporary internet
files, and clearing history in preferneces(also I have nothing in my
favorites folder) but it just never goes away? Is there another place IE is
saving this stuff that I can clear it out?
 
Hi,
These URLs you're seeing are in the index.dat file in the History folder.

CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ should be able to clear the History
and the index.dat file. Just check the appropriate boxes and run it.

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Hope this helps,
