Is there any way to clear out the AutoComplete info on just one web site without clearing the AutoComplete info on all the web sites you have visited? I know to clear AutoComplete info on all web sites you do the following:
Tools>Internet Options>Content>AutoComplete>Clear Forms
It is frustrating because some web sites you use a lot get clogged up from doing searches, while others don’t.
Thanks for any tips!
GL63--You have to go into your Registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Typed URL's
HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Typed URL's
(In both cases you click on Typed URL's in the left pane to bring up the individual addresses in the right pane. Right click|Delete on the icon to the left of the address you do not want.)
If you are not comfortable editing the Registry, backup the files first (Registry|Export).
If I'm grasping what you are talking about for sure then you can just place the cursor over items in the drop down (below where you are typing) until they are highlighted and hit the Delete key on the keyboard to delete. Continue until all that you want deleted are deleted. Haven't found a way to choose all at one time to delete. Maybe someone else knows how to do that.
Thanks to both of you for your replies. I did a quick check on what GOth52 suggested and it seemed to do what I wanted done. It took a bit like you said to do them one at a time. I will take a look at my registry as well and check out what you suggested Welshjim. It is nice to be able to do this since some sites I do a lot searches on such as AllMusic.com get very full, but until now when I would clear it out I would also be clearing out usernames and passwords on other sites. Thanks again U2!
WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN!!
just highlite each line and hit the del key
First double click on the field with the entries you want to delete. That will display the entire drop-down list of entries. Then with one finger on the Down arrow key and one finger on the delete key, hitting Down then Delete will let you eliminate an entire list in short order.
Thanks kjanx & Miz!
GL63--WOW!! Did I ever misunderstand the question. Thought you wanted to delete individual items from the Address Line drop down.Quote:

I wasn't sure either Welshjim what the goal was, but at least it was achieved.:)
