How do you delete an address that shows up underneath the web address bar when you start typing stuff?

Answer 1

It cant be deleted!

Umm, well, the one address can't be deleted.

But I wanted to delete a website address, so I went on:

'Tools' - Can be found under address bar.

'Delete Browsing History' - At the top

'Delete History' - It should say 'List of websites you have visited'

Click on it, and in a few seconds, ALL YOUR PREVIOUSLY VISITED WEBSITES WILL BE DELETED. You can still get on to them, it's just that nothing will appear but I blank white space if you click the drop down arrow.

Please note: ALL THE WEBSITES THAT HAVE APPEARED ON YOUR DROP DOWN LIST WILL BE DELETED. ALL OF THEM. NOT JUST ONE.

that's how to clear the history. but you can delete a single address! its just a little tricky and involves using the registry editor, which if you do not know what your doing you can delete or change items that CANNOT or SHOULD NOT be changed and can effect your computer. so, do not stray from these steps.

go to RUN on your start menu and type 'regedit' (no quotes obviously)

then hit the + sign for HKEY_CURRENT_USER

then the + for Software

then the + for Microsoft

then the + for internet Explorer

and last open the folder that's marked 'typedURLs'

then just click on what address you would like to delete and either press the delete key or go to file>delete. its really pretty simple, not a lot of people think to do this or even know about it and if your trying to hide sites your searching from someone just know there are always other ways to know where someone has been, like keystroke, or through the admin esp if its a network computer. but the combination of deleting the history and everything else the other answer said and this you should be OK if its just a home computer or something. but if its at work, just quit going to the sites you don't want them to know about and that's the only way you can ensure not getting caught.
