Can someone please tell me how to remove a typed URL from the IE browser
drop down box?

1. It is NOT in the registry.

2. I have deleted all history.

3. I have cleared all autocomplete forms.

4. I have deleted all Temp files. (Cookies included)

5. I have deleted what cache I could find.

6. I have used several different scripts designed to delete URL's

but one still remains.



Any other ideas?

Have you seen this web page?:-

Towards the end of it it talks about deleting the index.dat files.

Interesting read - Thanks.
I'm trying the "Tracks Eraser Pro" mentioned
Thanks for your suggestions.
Mick.

You little ripper!
Thanks Stubbo!!
You put me on the right track.
"Tracks Eraser Pro" worked!
After nothing else did. This url MUST have been hiding in one of the .dat
files. (I guess)
Would be nice to kow where the little ba$tard was, just for interests sake.
Just goes to show that they don't all end up in the registry.
Thanks again.
Mick
