My friends have a laptop and a while back a relative went surfing where he shouldn't. Now they have a bunch of entries in their address drop down list that they don't want. I've include a "clean" screenshot to help explain what I'm talking about. Look at the upper section with the drop down list for yahoo search. How can they clean out those entries? Where are they stored? Thanks in advance,

Urich.

P.S. The unwanted entries aren't in the screenshot, but pop up regularly.

Hi urichjones,

Welcome to Geeks to go.

If Im understanding you correctly your asking how to clear the drop down list.

Please try the following. (If you have Internet Explorer open)

Go to:

Tools>Internet Options

Then click on clear history

Click ok.

If internet explorer is not open the right click on the Internet Explorer Icon on the desktop and and click on Properties.

Internet Properties will open, click on clear history.

Let me know if this works for you.

Yeah use Tony's idea first and then go to Tools-->Internet Options-->Content-->AutoComplete-->And untick the ones you dont want!
That should work fine!

Thanks for the responses. I actually figured it out yesterday after doing a little googling, but you're right. I cleared the history, cookies, and temp internet files. Then clicked on clear forms and clear passwords under the autocomplete option. Everything is cool.

Thanks,
Urich

Glad it worked!
