How does a person remove URL's from the address drop down file that were
typed erroneously or are no longer needed without removing them all
 
You can selectively delete the URL's from the address bar, but it can be a daunting process depending on how many are left.

Go to Start/Run and type: regedit and press OK. This will open the registry editor.

Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs


Click on the TypeURLs key and in the right side window you will see all of the URL's listed. Each entry will have a consecutive number such as url1, url2, url3, etc. Delete the entries that you wish by right clicking and selecting Delete from the menu.

Once you are finished, you must rename the remaining URL's with consecutive numbers. For instance, if you started with 5 url's and you deleted number 1 and number 3, then you would need to rename the remaining numbers 2,4, and 5 to numbers 1, 2, and 3. If the numbers are not consecutive, starting with number 1, then none of these url's will appear in the address bar.
