when you type an address in the address bar and it comes down automatically, how do you delete the addresses in there? Tom

    Try deleting the items in your history file, or deleting your stored internet pages.

    dunno if you have been going on naughty sites or what not but anyhows...

    i think it may have summit to do with your history, but then it may not. try it, delete the items in your history box. come to think of it know, that doesnt work. there is a way tho, you have to do something in the control panel methinks, however i do not know i am merely a blonde student :yes:

    youve got to learn the dance of the porn mate:

    1. Temporary internet files

    2. history

    3. autocomplete

    4. recycle bin

    :) you'll understand someday, my son :)

    Well, what did u mean then?
    That should delete any addresses in there when it scrools down.
    So, what sites have u been on u don't want people seeing, eh?

    I've tried all sorts of things. Going into

    Start-Settings-Taskbar and start menu-Advanced and pressing Clear will erase the pull down menu items, as will clear internet history, but I can't find where to delete the autocomplete entries that appear as you type.

    It may be in the registry somewhere. :(

    sounds like you need to go thru:

    Start Button
    Run
    regedit
    current user
    software
    microsoft (if using MS Explorer)
    Internet explorer
    Typed URLs

    ...and then delete the ones you don't want.



    The Dance of the Porn is easy when you know how :lol:

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Once you clear the history, temp internet file & cookies it will go.
