If I have MSN and want to complete the entrances in the google bar and the like, do I delete the SPW folder in Intelliforms under the MSN folder in regedit. I don't want to delete something that my computer needs.

Hmm, question What if your computer is controlled by an administrator and they have blocked off the clear history button. Is there another way to clear the addresses when you type "www.b" and it shows every "b" website you've been to etc..

Oh and another tip, for those of you having trouble deleting the typed urls..

All Steps Are done in Regedit!
1. Go to the start menu and click run then type "regedit".
2 Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER
3.Go to software
4.Go to microsoft
5.Then Internet explorer
6.Then in the internet explorer folder delete the folder typed urls

Then there all gone using regedit :)

Go to WindowsTemp and delete the History folder. Dont worry, the next time you boot, it gets recreated. this should solve your problem of MSN Explorer.

Is there a way to delete, clear, whatever the entries in the Address bar? I have XP and IE6, and clear history, autocomplete, regedit, and temporary internet file removal have no effect whatsoever.

I had this problem forever as known of the "obvious" solutions that are supposed to work would solve this problem. I found a suggestion for the trial version of "smart protector" shareware elsewhere, and after days of searching for a solution, the problem was solved in 5 minutes. I don't know how they locate these stray addresses but it works!

-One note; if you are using MSN Explorer 8.0 or 9.0, there is currently
no way to clear the AutoComplete history for this browser. This issue
is known to the MSN team at Microsoft, but there is no indication that
they intend to ever fix this privacy issue.-

god bless microsoft.</ul>

Okay, all of you with the problem of this not working for you, please read above.....obviously this won't clear your AutoComplete entries if you use MSN Explorer or messenger. It helps to read the entries before you say....."it won't work for me".

I can see those website names. If you type the first letter of a favorite website it also appears in the addressbar.
After clearing my history and autocomplete I still have some URLs appearing when I type a letter. I don't know how to delete those, but I have hidden them by unchecking web adresses in the autocomplete settings.

I'm having the same problem. Clearing history, forms, and temp files does not clear all of the addresses in autocomplete. The address bar is empy, and clicking the down arrow, shows that it's empty, until I type a letter, then a bunch of urls magically appear in the address drop down. But not all of them. For example, my bank's website. When I delete history and files, and type my bank's name, it doesn't appear in the auto complete, but other URLs that begin with the same letter do. Something else that's strange, some of the addresses are not URLs but website names. I suspect that there is a "qhost" history/autocomplete running in the background as part of some spyware to keep certain sites always in your autocomplete even when you clear it. But I wouldn't know how to go about finding it.

I cannot delete the autocomplete entries. None of the options for autocomplete in the tools/internet options/content/autocomplete work. I have pressed delete below the address bar when the urls are highlighted, and that doesn't work. Basically, I have tried everything people have said about solving this problem and none of them have worked.

I have the same problem with the uswer names in my messenger windows and other similar windows.. cannt get rid of all these usernames by hitting the delete key... HELPPPPPPPP
