Hi experts,

Some time I need to delete only one site from the list that appears in Address Bar - but I cant do this unless I clear the whole list of addresses by Clear History.

Is there a way to do this?
In which file this list is located anyway?

Thx in advance,

Eli

Depends on the version of windows you have.

In 98:

C:\windows\history (I think)


In 2000 and up:

Dern. I can't find it right now.

Do a search on your hard drive for the address via Start-Search-Files or folders...

I'll delete your other question.

Search your registry...

Example(varies)

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1390067357-842925246-854245398-500\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

<b>This is likely the one you want.</b>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Doing this manually is a pain. If you have 20 urls listed and you delete the 12th, then all urls from 13 to 20 would need to be renamed 12 to 19 or they will all fail to appear in your address bar. That is, each URL number with a higher number than the one you remove. If, for whatever reason, you will need to do this often, I would create a utility in your favorite windows development environment...
