IE Search History
I can erase anything in history EXCEPT:

Go to "history"

click on "search"

hit any letter and then 'enter'

tons of suggestions come up.


How do I erase that list from coming up?



Thanks.

Welcome

Goto Internet Options>Content>AutoComplete
Clear the appropriate options.

Also, while right clicking on one of the 'search results' does bring up a menu that includes the 'delete' option, if you click on it nothing happens.

downloaded and ran crap cleaner.

Still there.


I really appreciate you taking the time to help. Anything else you can think of?

The website's listed are so bizarrely random:

an ebay auction that I checked on 8 months ago
a yahoo profile I don't even remember checking on
a fantasy football forum from last season

This doesn't make any sense to me. Why are those things showing up in the history search?

Did you delete the index.dat file with CCleaner?
(it requires a reboot)
