How to delete URL from IE on x30?

cranfordrd · 09-07-04, 08:12 AM

When I type in a web address in IE a couple of url's show up by default as soon as I type the "www". I have used memmaid and cleaned all temp files but they still show up. I know that on my desktop PC I simply right click and choose delete and they are gone but this does not work on the PPC. Can anyone help?

PIE > Tools > Options > Clear History Button.

You can also set the Number of Days worth to save.

Nope, clearing history seems to clear everything but not these urls...any other thoughts, it is really annoying!

These entries are stored in the registry. I've whacked these in the past, and they don't seem to return. SKTools will effectively remove them, but its pretty east to go in and remove them manually once you find the key where the values are contained. I do not have this information handy, I will post back when I can find it.

Thanks, I look forward to your instructions on how to get these out of the registry!

The strings your looking for can be found in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> EXPLORER -> ADDRESSHISTORY

Just look for the URL that you want to delete..

PS: I use a free registry editor, BitsInside RegEdit v1.2, which you can download from: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities...eregedit.shtml
