Microsoft Internet address bar

by eladsit Dec 18, 2005 11:58PM PST

I have cleaned the address bar every time using the Start menu. But every tine I type in an address up pops every thing that starts with that first letter, how do I clear this area up?

AutoComplete feature for IE

by MarciaB Dec 19, 2005 12:40AM PST

To adjust AutoComplete settings

You can configure AutoComplete to save and suggest only the information you want. You can choose whether to use AutoComplete for Web addresses, forms, and passwords, or not use it all. You can also clear the history for any of these.

1. In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. Click the Content tab.
3. Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.
4. Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options you want to use.

Hope this helps
