How do you clear the Home Page list? Under General Internet options when I
begin to type in a url, it brings up a list of many urls that I have never
used as a home page.

I have cleared the cookies. Why do these urls come up and how do I clear
this list?

Hello,

you have to delete the Internet Explorer History. You are using version 6,
right?
In the same window where you change the home page, under "History", click
"Clear History".

Hope this will help.
Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo

I have cleared the history as well, and still there is a long list of urls
that appear when you begin to type in a url in the home page box.

Hello,

I think I did it: In the Internet Options, go to tab "Content" -> click the
button "AutoComplete..." and uncheck "Forms". Click OK and Apply, and then
clear History. Does that work?

If not look here for more information:
http://www.updatexp.com/autocomplete-ie6.html on how to disable AutoComplete
completely.

Hope this does the job.

Hi,
These URLs you're seeing are in the index.dat file in the History folder.
The index.dat file doesn't clear when the history is cleared.

Try these steps:

Easy method #1:
CCleaner from www.ccleaner.com Check the boxes to clear History and
index.dat files.

Easy method #2:
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/fre...ory-eraser.htm can usually delete
the History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created
when you restart.

Or the History folder can be deleted manually.
The procedure [Windows XP]
Login as another user with administrator privileges, or from the machine's
default administrator account (startup in safe mode.) Make sure that you can
see hidden and system files (Folder Options> View) then delete the affected
History folder from Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and
Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\History] Restart the computer.
