delete URL history

[jflaurin]

I've been trying for 2 days to find the VB code that will delete the URL history from the address bar in IE. anyone can help me ?

Also can VB delete the history of the words typed in a seach engine search box...The history must be stored locally but again I can't find a way to delete it in a VB app.

Looks like you need to go trolling through the registry. (Back it up before you start dink'n with anything in there). I found that IE6 stores the History in the Registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs\

With a couple API calls, you can get to the entries and clean out what you are looking for.

Hope this helps you.
