Computer Help
I'm ok at computers, but this confuses me. So I was clearing my internet explorer browsing history. I went to tools/internet options, and cleared the history. However, if I then go into the address bar and type http://www.g or http://www.p, a few links still pop up. Why is this? How can these be cleared off so that if I were to typ www. anything, nothing would pop up? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. |

FIXED:
Click on Start, then Run.
Type regedit in the box provided.
In Regedit navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Typed URLs
Then just delete all of the keys that list the URL's you no longer want to see.

Sorry, didn't see it. Anyway, I am sure I am running 7 or newer, if there is a newer. I don't think I had a choice to 'delete all' under the internet options. Just different options to delete files, delete cookies, and delete history. So i clicked on all those, hit apply or ok at the bottom, closed it down, and opened it up, and tried typing http://www.g or http://www.p and they were still there. |

if you are using IE7, then select
tools, internet options, delete browsing history and then on the next screen chose delete all in the bottom left of the screen.

Or you could clear the cashe, that would be much faster. Under tools I think, I use FF.
