How do i delete the web address history? i have tried
deleting the daily history but that does not seem to get
rid of the history of web addresses. I'm using windows98
if that matters.
 
Hi,
With no IE windows open, try clearing the History from Control Panel>
Internet Options> General> Clear History.

These entries might be in the registry in a TypedURLs key:

For an easier, safer removal method, go to
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
and download "DelTypedURL." This INF file will remove ALL entries.

These two freeware programs will remove SOME or ALL entries:
IE Address Bar Editor: http://www.freesoft.fsnet.co.uk/ieedit01.htm
EditURLs: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/index.htm

You might need to delete the History folder to remove these URLs- a new
History folder will be created on restart.
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder in Windows 9x,2K, XP.

Hope this helps,
Don
