Internet Cleanup: History Item Removal

PaulyB71

Try looking in Tools --> Internet options - choose the item Content - you will have an item for autocomplete. You can change the settings for this. This item controls the address bar and the search boxes.

do you use the google search bar or similar?

I don't use the google toolbar as you describe, I type into the address bar right at the top of the page (in your picture, where you've got http://www.google.....).

When searching, I just go to my homepage, whihc is set to google.co.uk

I've tried:

Tools - Internet Options - Tab= Content - Autocomplete/Settings - I unticked the address bar and then clicked on Delete Autocomplete history. This brought up the same box as when I delete browsing history.

Did all of this and still I get the history showin on my address bar and when I type straight into the address bar...

Actually, I think the autocomplete bit has done the job.

Only after I closed IE down and then re-opened did the deletions take effect.

Everything has now disappeared.

Thanks all for your swift and comprehensive help!!!
