Thanks for the responses.
I got a remedy from Jim Byrd in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:

To delete ALL Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and download and
install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

Worked good, close OE & IE first.

Change Days to keep in History to 0 ( or maybe more practical to 1 ) and
click on Apply and OK -Internet Options, General, History. You may need to
restart your computer for it to be put into effect.
