Clear Your History

Internet Tips and Tricks

Clear your history:

If you drop down the "Location" (or "Address" in Internet Explorer) drop-down list box, you'll see a list of locations you've been to by typing their URLs.

Here's how to get rid of those typed URLs from the history:
Exit Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer

Run "Registry Editor" (run "regedit.exe" or "regedt32.exe")

If you're using Navigator 2.x or Navigator 3.x, select:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\
URL History

For Explorer 3.x or Explorer 4.x, select:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
TypedURLs

Delete all the items (in the right side window) starting with "URL"

Restart Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer
