[SOLVED] IE7-Delete certain URLs in browsing history drop-down menu

sumfun · 12-10-2008, 06:20 PM

Does anyone know how to delete just a few URLs from the IE7 Browsing History Drop-Down menu? I don't want to delete all history, just selected ones. Any help would be appreciated. I know I can accomplish the same result by deleting all, and then revisiting the ones I want to keep. Is there a way to delete just a couple?

I am using XP Pro/SP3. All Windows updates are current.

**Back up your registry before editing** (Click the green link)

Click Start => Run type in Regedit, then press Ok

When Regedit is open, please do this:

Click HKEY_CURRENT_USER => Software => Microsoft => Internet Explorer => Typed URLs

Now right click on the urls you want to delete and press delete, but DO NOT deleate the (default) value.
