You can also delete this from the registry. Simple copy any address you see that you want to remove, copy it exactly. Then go start->run->regedit->edit->find->and paste in the url and hit search. It will take some time put it will bring you to the location in the registry where this is storaged. You can then delete it from this location by right clicking on the address and restarting internet explorer.

TweakUI will do this automatically when you exit IE.
TweakUI can be found on your win98 cd in: \tools\reskit\powertoy After installing TweakUI, open the control panel, run the TweakUI applet, click the IE tab and put a check next to: &quot;Clear document, run, typed-URL history on exit&quot;. Then whenever you close out Internet Explorer the URL's on the dropdown menu will be erased. [sig]<p>RaTTuS<br>I cna ytpe 300 wrods pre mniuet.[/sig]
