stupid question here

i am running win xp home and i want to know how to delete the drop down list of previously viewed websites in the addy. bar.any thoughts?

 

From Internet Explorer

Tools menu > Internet Options menu item > Clear History button

 

Jimmy, if you only want to claer History, follow SGC_Geek's hint.

If you want to claer all crap accumulated after every session on the Net, try these 3.

Cleanup! http://www.stevengould.org/
EmpTemp http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1575
and CrapCleaner aka CCleaner http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4191

They will clear out everything, cookies, history, index.dat, temp files, the lot.

All 3 are free, don't conflict with each other and each finds stuff the other 2 miss.

Run Cleanup! first, with the volume up, for a toilet flushing sound.

REboot after Cleanup! or CrapCleaner to remove Index.dat files. I don't reboot as it is inconvenient sometimes, but use a batch file to clear out my Index.dat files at the end of my day on the Net..

If you haven't cleaned out the crap in a while, I suggest a defrag afterwards to tidy up your harddrive/s. Bazza
