I am unable to remove one particular website address out of Internet
Explorer. i have cleared history, Deleted all Cookies, and Deleted
everything out of Temporary Internet Files, including Offline content. How
can I get this to no longer show up?
 
Hi TMH :-)

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, in addition to
Alan's suggestion, you might also try the following and see if it helps:

Close all instances of IE:

Go to Start>Run>type regedit (enter)

Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Find the offending URL, select it, hit delete.

or....

To delete an item from the History in IE, click the History toolbar button
which will open the History list in the sidebar window, and you can right
click on any entry and select delete.

also..take a look here:

History Items Remain After Being Deleted from Cache
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q218966/

"Clear History of Typed URL's".
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/typedurls.reg

To delete an item in the AutoComplete list:

To remove an entry that is erroneous, outdated, or private, highlight it
using the Down Arrow (not the mouse) and press Shift + Delete.

or....

If you are wishing to clear out all the entries in the History:

CCleaner

or

Hope this helps.
