IE 5.5/6 History Not Clearing

[bshichman]

My clear history functionality clears the history EXCEPT for one URL. Always. I did a seach on the Registry and this URL is not in there. No matter what I do (even installing 5.5 and removing 6.0) nothing will delete this url. The url will appear in the drop down list as you type the url, but not in the history list. how can i clean it?

EditURLs lets you edit the drop-down URL address list in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x thru
6.x. The easy-to-use interface displays all the current addresses, enabling you to save the
list for future recall, clear the list completely, and edit or delete individual URLs. The
program could be used for privacy and other reasons.

Delete Unwanted URLS G
When you type a URL in the Address Bar it gets added to a listing that can be accessed by
clicking on the down arrow at the right side of the address bar. You can remove the URLs listed
in the Address Bar pull-down listing by launching RegEdit and going to
HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\MicrosoftInternetExplorer\TypedURLs. Delete any URLs you don't want viewed.

In Windows 2000, this key is located here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MicrosoftInternet Explorer\TypedURLs.

Empty Temp Folders (emptemp) helps you manage folders that contain temporary files, left over
by other applications. It's easy to add any folder and you can empty a folder (or all folders)
with one click.

Also emptemp will let you list and delete cookies, history files and temporary internet files
(this requires MS Internet Explorer version 5+).

Emptemp also has a search function to let you find and delete temporary files outside the
normal temp folders. Any program can leave behind temporary files or backup files anywhere on
your harddisk. These files have file types like .tmp, .bak, .old and .log. You can add your own
file types.

Emptemp also displays the amount of memory the content of the clipboard takes up, and lets you
delete it. And it can find broken shortcuts (.lnk files) on your harddisk, so you can delete or
fix them.
