I would like to erase the traces left when consulting a web site.
I have cleaned up the cache the history but on my w98se (and other windows) there is a special zone : the last manually-entered URLs are available in the scrolling Address pane of Internet Explorer 6 (and previous v.)
How could I erase only one element of this scrolling history, leaving the others (just as if nobody came on the keyboard at midtime).Where are those dammned strings ? Not in the registry, but where ?
:sly:

im pretty sure the autocomplete is in the registry, possibly called something like MRU list, should be able to find it by searching registry for one of the URL's

Search for the registry key "LastTypedURL" ;)

Thank you ! Its in the registry at TypedURLs somewhere under HKEY_C URRENT_USER under windows 98!
I have read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q255072&
Many thanks, to all! The original question came from the forum www.commentcamarche.net

Don't forget Sherlock that the registry is saved periodically un c:\windows\sysbackup\*.cab and could be restored with scanreg /restore
:devil:
