Default Address bar clear history

right, we can clear the history in Internet Options, but on the address bar
the url continues to display in the pull down. I try to hit the delete key
but that does not clear them like it does in the pull down for the search.
Ok techies, bring me up to speed please.

BTW still lingering is why everytime my IE7 opens it asks for a skin type....

All the best.

Take a look at CCleaner as a tool to remove Internet history info, cookies,
temp files, auto complete and other junk. In the 'Windows' tab listing check
the item types you want deleted.
Also available is customization, see Options/Custom to add any
other/additional folders you want files deleted from.

Thanks JS, ran the CCCleaner which did not affect the address bar, the prior
URL addresses are still shown in IE7. In Firefox this is not an issue.
Hmmm....

You could use regedit search for and delete the Address Bar entries in the
registry. I use IE6 and these entries are found in the following location:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs\url1 thru url25

You can delete the entry and leave it blank or replace it with another url
entry.
