Answer 3

So, in order to clear or the history of the address bar in IE only without deleting your IE History folder follow these steps:

Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

Note: As always, before making changes to your registry you should always make sure you have a valid backup. In cases where you're supposed to delete or modify keys or values from the registry it is possible to first export that key or value(s) to a .REG file before performing the changes.

Locate the following key in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Delete all the URLx (e.g. URL1, URL2 and so on) that you do not wish to be visible in the address bar drop down list.

Note: If you delete only certain keys, make sure that the remaining keys are in renamed in sequential order start from url1. Otherwise you might corrupte your remaining keys.

on internet exploror 7 it's really easy, but I dont know how to do it on internet explorer 6 but i know it's a little bit more complex. on internet explorer 7 you click on Tools than Interent Options. you than click the advanced tab to the right. finnaly you scroll down to browsing and uncheak "use inline autocomplete".

Answer 7

In IE this is the autocomplete and form data function. This can be turned off by:

tools
internet options
content tab
autocomplete (settings button)
uncheck all the boxes and hit ok

then

go to general tab and delete browsing history

alternatively go to http://mybranding.info/free.php and download cc cleaner and let it do it all for you.

Now you have cleared that up go to - http://mybranding.info/firefox.php and get yourself a proper browser!

Answer 8

its so simple. just click on the search bar and u will see previous entered terms right. just press down arrow and press delete.

Answer 9

You have to go to your toolbox and empty your internet cache. This stores all the information about the sites you've visited. When it's cleared this won't happen anymore.

I suggest you empty the cache every week or two anyway, because it does save quite a bit of data that you don't need, which takes up space.
