help with internet explorer

by becky2t Oct 20, 2004 5:27AM PDT

I would like to know if there is a setting that can be changed to not store addresses in the address bar. If you click on the arrow button on the right edge it lists web sites visited. Is there a way to stop this besides clearing the history?

1. Please note that just above the text editor (where you enter a question on the forum) is the following paragraph, and if certain information is not present in your question, our reply may not be of much help:

Tip: If you are asking for help to troubleshoot a computer-related problem, please be sure to include all the necessary information (ie: operating system, model number, hardware, software, etc) that will help others identify your problem for a speedy resolution.

2. "How to Clear the History Entries in Internet Explorer (Q157729)" - the cached History (or Address box) entries.

Note:: "EditURLs" is a good simple utility for this situation.

I think I will try the download you suggested. I am not comfortable messing with my computer's registery. Thanks, becky2t.
