How do I clear the list of websites that I have visited?

Question

Do not tell me to go to tools, then internet options, and then delete cookies, files, and clear history because I have already done that 13 times in the last 3 weeks but whenever I start to type in a website address on my browser it starts to show websites that I have looked at in the past that start with the same letter.

For example if I type in www.m

It will show www.monster.com and
www.mercantileweb.com

How do I completely erase that from happening?

Ok, so far the two people who have answered so far are mentally retarded.

I HAVE CLEARED MY HISTORY AND IT STILL HAPPENS.

Back when I had Comcast Digital Internet that used to work but I switched to SBC DSL and now for some reason it dosent work.

I am also using a different computer and I dont know if that might be a factor as well.

I am using a Compaq Computer with a Windows XP Media Edition Operating system if that helps.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FRED25 AND the_all_knowing_maniac's Q&A!

MOST OF THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS AND DONT READ THE DETAILS OF THE QUESTION AND JUST WANT POINTS FOR ANSWERING.

I DID WHAT YOU SAID AND RESTARTED THE COMPUTER AND IT WORKED.

THANKS.

I ONLY REGRET THAT I CAN ONLY PICK ONE OF YOU GUYS FOR THE BEST ANSWER.
