Internet History

Hi, I have went to Control Panel and cleaned out my cookies and deleted my
files and cleared History. But when I log back on and go to my address bar
and type in a "old" (I deleted everything) it still fills it in as if I had
just went to that site. I was wondering if there is somewhere else I need to
go to get in out of there. Plus when I go to the history folder and type
that web site in it shows up also? Thank you

Re: Internet History

You need to disable "autocomplete" Start\Control Panel\Internet
Options\Content\Autocomplete.
Uncheck specific types of automplete history. And to delete saved URLs or
passwords click on the appropriate bar.

CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) can do all the described chores for you, either in
manual or automatic setting.

Re: Internet History

Try disabling auto complete. Go to Internet Options click the Content tab
and then click the Setting button in the auto-complete section. In the
auto-complete window remove the tick mark from 'web addresses' You might
also find it useful to remove the tick marks from the 'user name and
password on forms' too.

In many cases the web address are stored as MRU's (most recently used) in
the registry. As a suggestion download CCleaner (better known as Crap
Cleaner) from www.ccleaner.com Install it and then run it. Once it opens
click the Run Cleaner button. This will clear out history, temp internet
files, cookies, mru etc. I use it regularly. There is an 'issues' button
which will edit the registry, this isn't as good as it could be so 'don't'
use it. Just use the cleaner option.

Re: Internet History

The address Bar URL's are held in the registry in a key called typed URLs:

If you want an easy way or managing them then use this utility:

http://www.crouchie.net/downloads/ie_visited_sites.zip

The harder way:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

If you click START
Click RUN
Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & click OK
Navigate to the above registry key by expanding the '+' signs until you get
to the TypedURLs key where you highlight it

In the right pane delete all string values that start with 'url'

Close the registry editor & re-launch Internet Explorer

I hope this helps,

Re: Internet History

Newbie, I would much rather the origianl poster disable auto-complete and
use CCleaner than him/her attempt any alterations to the registry. Your
'workaround' using the registry is indeed correct, but as we are not aware
of the OP's competency regarding registry editing it is far better to use
the simplest method rather than the hardest.

I also wouldn't be downloading directly from a download link, especially
when, from what i have seen, the home page of the website (if you can even
call it a website) isn't all that informative or user friendly. With the
exception of the contact page and WhoIs, every other link simply brings you
back to where you started, a rather unimpressive home page.
