So I deleted Temp Internet Files, Offline Content & History; have deleted all Cookies; have cleared Documents Menu & Personal History. But still can’t get rid of the old links.

Hi, Please, how to clear INSERT HYPERLINK / RECENT FILES & BROWSED PAGES, especially the latter, the content of which I suspect might some sort of scumware? I have deleted Temp Internet Files, Offline Content & History; have deleted all Cookies; have cleared Documents Menu & Personal History (under Start Menu Progs) & for good measure emptied the Recycle Bin: all to no avail. I did not find anything helpfull on the "scumware" site. I surf but do not have a webpage. New-comer most grateful for your advice. Pete

Quit Internet Explorer. Go to Start | Run Type in "regedit" Now go to the following HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs You will see a list of URL1, URL2 etc. Delete the values that you don't want by highlighting the value, click on Edit, then click delete. Exit Regedit, and now turn off auto complete. Re-open Internet Explore, go to Tools | Internet Options | Content | AutoComplete. Check or uncheck as necessary

Suggestion:

Download and install CCleaner (Crap Cleaner), (Freeware).
http://www.ccleaner.com/

Then, whenever you want to get rid of the 'crap', right-click the Recycle Bin and select "Run CCleaner".

Its working. Thanks.
I think it save at the registry there, when I clean up the windows and application, it still remain there. But after I run “Issues” and clean up the registry, and I restart computer, its gone.
Is it ok to fix all the registry? Save to do it?

You're Welcome.

Is it ok to fix all the registry? Save to do it?

Depends ... but generally speaking, yes. It'll ask you if you want to save a backup of the registry entries you've selected to delete. If you answer Yes, it'll create a .REG file that can easily be restored (merged) back into the registry.

Another free tool you may be interested in is Javacool Software's little MRU-Blaster. It quickly cleans the MRU (most recently used) lists on your computer.
