Hi. I have IE 6 on a WinME machine. Sometimes when I open my browser, the
address bar history list disappears. I've gone to Tools/ Internet Options/
Advanced, and made sure "Empty temporary files when closed" was unchecked. I
also have "Days to keep pages in History" set to 99 and "Use autocomplete
for web addresses" checked.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

How to use the AutoComplete feature in Internet Explorer 5 and 6:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=217148

To modify your settings for the AutoComplete feature or clear all items from
the list of form or password suggestions, follow these steps in Internet
Explorer:

1.On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2.Click the Content tab.
3.Click AutoComplete.
4.Click the appropriate AutoComplete check boxes, or click Clear Forms or
Clear Passwords to clear all saved items from the appropriate AutoComplete
history.
5.Click OK, and then click OK.

To clear individual items from the list of form or password suggestions,
click the item in the list of suggestions for that field and then press
DELETE. The AutoComplete list automatically appears when you perform any of
the following actions on a previously populated form:

* Type the first character in the field
* Press the UP or DOWN keys in the field
* Double-click a blank area in the field

Your History folder may be damaged or become corrupted and you need to
create a new one.

Or try installing TweakUI.
