Can you delete some URLs from the dropdown window on IE explorer, without deleting them all (via clear history)?<br /><br />Ken

Nope....it's easier than that....<br /><br />Click on the drop down window<br />Right click on the entry you want to delete<br />Pick delete from the menu<br />Click YES<br />Poof!

nope, not there. I have XP with IE 6.0<br /><br />I can do that with "autocomplete", but not with the URL drop downs.<br /><br />Ken

OH, That drop down list (via the URL address line....)<br />I'm doing this with MIE 5.5 Win2k<br />See if this works....<br /><br />Goto Windows Explorer<br />Click on My Computer<br />Click on C Drive<br />Click on Documents and Settings<br />Click on name of logged on user<br />Click on Local Folders<br />Click on History<br />Pick Today<br />Right Click on entry (in right hand window)<br />Pick Delete from menu<br /><br />ndemge..to funny...HA!

The only way I can see to accomplish what you wish to do is to follow, Xcusme's advice, whch means browsing to the user's history folder(s).<br /><br />\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\History<br /><br />You may need to check any sub-folders as well..... the url list in the address bar does not include addresses from 'today' only. It will search as far back as your internet history settings allow.

Ummm. nothing...nowhere....<br /><br />Actually, I got a bunch of junk in there, but a few that I would like to keep.<br /><br />This is a work computer, so it is all "clean".<br /><br />Ken

Re: Delete URLs from drop down window

Xcusme's method didn't work for me. XP home w/SP2 & IE 6.0. I was able to select any offending URL from the drop-down, and when it appeared in the address line, right click it and delete it.
