Please no "You shouldn't be using internet explorer" right now. Anyone know how to do get rid of these web addresses that seem to arbitrarily stay there for a long time?

2. Um, not sure what that means, I've got Windows 98
in the windows/history folder there are just folders with today, yesterday, and last week folders. I deleted everything inside them. No option for selecting "all delete" that I see. But after deleting all the files in windows/history file, those adresses are still there.

3. Are you talking about web addresses that you've bookmarked?
Go to "Favorites" - then "Organize Favorites" - then click on the circle to the left of the web address and go to "Edit" - then "Clear".

7. No. I'm talking about when you click the down arrow on the adress bar
there are a list of adresses that appear that I don't know how to get rid of.

5. The only way I've ever been able
to clear it is to put in new addresses, the new ones take the space of the old, good luck.
