Answer 1

You aren't clearing your auto complete entries.


Follow this - Click Tools at the top of your screen, then select Internet Options, Click "Clear History", then Click "Delete Files".

Now Click on the Content tab.

Under Personal information click on the AutoComplete box.

On the AutoComplete Settings window click the Clear Forms box to delete your current history.

You can uncheck the Forms box if you want to permanently stop the generation of the search history.

Close browser and re-open

Answer 2

You have not cleared all of the possible things you can clear in your Internet Explorer Browswer Temp files :). You also need to clear your AutoComplete Forms so it does not give you options to choose from after you type in a letter. To solve your problem, go

Tools --> Internet Options --> Content --> Autocomplete --> Clear Forms.

This should fix the problem.

Answer 3

clean out the temp internet files and your temp files. After you delete everything in those folders, nothing should come up when you type in the adress bar.

Answer 4

Use ccleaner it will clear out a lot of junk and you can also choose what cookies you wish to keep.
