Internet Explorer History

[kaycee8877]

I've deleted all my temp internet files and history through internet options, also manually through windows explorer. But for a couple sites when i go to type in an address in internet explorer, ie i start typing in www.futureshop.com ... the drop down box comes up with some page on future shop that i was on last year. This happens for a few other sites as well.

My question is where is this info kept if not in temp files or history and how do i get rid of it?

Trying to hide your surfing habits?

Anyways, try deleting all the temp files (Check off all offline content), cookies, and history....

always trying to hide surfing habits

i mean ive only noticed two of these drop down items...and its just annoying that windows is hiding stuff on me


yeah... ive clicked "all offline content" .. cookies, history .. and like i said went and made sure it was all gone manually (username/cookies + local settings/history + temp internet files)

but windows is putting some info elsewhere

considering the replies noone cares but i solved the problem (the autocomplete drop down list had a bunch of URLs even though i cleared out the history and temp files etc.)


apparently some drop down addies go into the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs) and are stored there ... mine were clear though

then a ran across a program http://www.purgeie.com/ that did the trick .. clears out everything
