How do you clear the address memory

[hammersley]

in IE 6. 0????? I go to the tools window and click Clear History but nothing happens. What I'm talking about is the Address window when you start to type in it begins an alpha match. How do I clear this?????

That does not work in IE 6. 0. I would also like to know how to clear the list of searches. I have Yahoo as my home page and on the web search if I type one letter, a list of previous searches under that letter appears.

go to tools, internet options, clear history, delete files, delete cookies.



try the history and files first, then cookies. Otherise you have to relog in everywhere... ...



That should remove all the boobies.com IP addresses... .

Tried that, history, files, cookies. Still did not remove the searches. The only thing I found that did work was an aftermarket internet trace destructor, but my trial period on that expired so I need to buy the program. What I did not like about it was it wiped out all your log ins.

Then it was probably still deleting all of the files in your IE temp directory... I'm using IE 6. 0 and the clear History works for me. But I've got it set for check for new versions every time, because I do some web developing. I can't cache anything, it is way too confusing.



I have administrative rights on the machine that I am working on. If you don't, you may not be able to delete the files you want to delete. Are you logging in as a regular user or as a user with administrative rights? Do not log in as administrator as a regular thing. Log in as an administrator, use Administrative Tools in Control Panel to get to Users and Groups and grant yourself administrative rights as a user. Then log out as administrator and log in as yourself. You should be able to delete the files you want to ditch now. If you have to create a user account for yourself, it will be a lot like you are using a new machine. Nothing will be set up for you, you'll have to set everything up all over again.



Advantage to that is that you can set passwords on your accounts and grant rights to things based on which user you are. You can lock down your kid's accounts and leave yours able to go wherever. You can keep your files private, too.

Go to Tools/Internet Options and under the Content tab click AutoComplete, then click Clear Forms. That will get rid of the info you get in the drop down menu.
