Question Deleting HTTP addresses

Does anyone know how to delete previously used http addresses in the pull-down line address of Internet Explorer?

Tools - Internet Options - Clear History.

That will get rid of them, but not on a permanent basis as they will build up again once you visit further sites. Don't know how to get rid of them on a permanent basis.

Cool

It's dead set easy to manage your inventory of auto-complete url's in IE...just do this:

Run Regedit, then open up: HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Typed URLs.

Simply delete any unwanted URLs.

On the same lines as Speachless Two, while you're clearing your history, reduce the number of days that Explorer stores history pages to 1 (actually it goes down to 0 but that could mean "never delete", I don't know) so that the history never gets ancient.

Clownfish - tried what you said, and deleted a few entries from the registry but IE5 still remembers ALL the auto-complete. (when I went back in the registry again although I had only deleted a few values all of them had gone). It would be handy just to delete a few (the dirty ones!) rather than clearing the whole history (which does work). Must be stored somewhere in IE5, not the registry as I have searched the registry for some of my entries and it does not find them!
