When I use AUTO COMPLETE (ie web address box checked) & I start typing a web
address in address bar I get a drop down box underneath with other website
possibilities listed,starting with the first letter of website address I am
entering (ie www.a...... & so on) Some of these sites are undesirable,some
are not.I would hate the kids to click on them, My Mrs is doing her nut!. If
the AUTO COMPLETE isnt on then there is no problem. I have tried everything I
know , cleared HISTORY , COOKIES, DELETED files, Run CCLEANER,ANTISPYWARE but
nothing works. When AUTOCOMPLE is on & I start typing an address there they
are. How can I get rid/remove delete these sites?

Anyone have any ideas?

Hope I have explained this ok

Well, you can disable the autocomplete entirely, you can clear the cache,
you can use an automated program that cleans that stuff (various people will
happily recommend one but I do it all manually so I'm not much help but I
understand CCleaner - Crap Cleaner or something like that does a good job)
and be done with it. You can also selectively delete them manually by
heading to this section of the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Hi,
When you run CCleaner, check the boxes to clear history, recently typedurls
and index.dat. A restart may be required to see the results.

If unsuccessful with that, Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/fre...ory-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Hope this helps,
