In IE6 I have been unable to completely clear my cached
history (in the address bar). I have used Tools/Internet
Options/General Tab/"Clear History" but it doesn't clear
everything out. Even though the history bar appears to be
blank, when I type the first letter of a URL, it pulls up
certain sites that I can't seem to get rid of. I've even
gone into the registry to see if I can find the sites
that it is "remembering," but I can't locate them. Any
thoughts on how to clear my history completely?
