It's a trial, it expires in 15 days. At least that's what I'm pretty sure it told me. Eric

DING DING DING!!!! We have a winner, thanks to Guilo who pointed me to a program that actually worked. I had bought and installed StealthRay and it did nothing for this problem, but one sweep with internet track eraser (eval version no doubt) took those pesky sites right out of memory. I...

I have tried the latest suggestions, nothing works. The problem is exactly the same as it was before, I can type the first letter I want into the Address bar and will get a drop down list of either URL's or places on the computer (such as C:\). If I close this window and clear all the history...

I tried that, still no fix. What the heck could this be? I just don't understand, I've done a search of the entire drive for files containing text *sample*.* and no hits, but it has to be somewhere for the browser to access it!!! Eric

Well, I thought I had found the problem but alas, I didn't. I was poking around in the registry and found under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Explorer Bars\{long string of characters}\filesNA some of the offending sites. I deleted them, then did a reboot, and voila...

Karmic, I was excited to see your response but alas, that didn't work. The only typed URL in the list was www.yahoo.com. All the other ones were called "default" and the type was "REG_SZ" with the value not set, and I couldn't delete those. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Eric

Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. Any other suggestions? I have tried watching to see what files get updated whenever IE is open and the only ones that I can't get into or copy are the ntuser.dat and ntuser.dat.log files, but these two update whenever an IE session is opened or closed...

I have an issue with a machine I inherited. The previous owner went to several sites that I wouldn't be interested in and I would like to clear them from memory. For instance, if in the address bar I start by typing the letter "p" it might pull a dropdown menu of several www.porn.com...
