In summary, the conversation discusses how to delete saved addresses in the address bar in Internet Explorer. The suggested solution is to go to Tools > Internet Options > General and click on Clear History. The possibility of setting the number of days for tracking webpages is also mentioned. RTFM is suggested as a solution, but it is deemed unhelpful. It is clarified that Temporary Internet Files and History are different, but the advice is to delete both.

On my version of Internet Explorer, it would be Tools--------->Internet Options---------->General------------->Temporary Internet Files--------->Delete Files. Say ok if it asks you if you want to delete.dextercioby said:

Evo, "Temporary Internet Files" is different from the "History", I am sure you also have an option somewhere to empty the history (in "modern" versions of IE it is where Dextercioby sais, perhaps to be complete history should be added in his list: Tools->Internet Options->General->History->Clear History).
Ramollari, RTFM is never (never!) a helpfull comment... it is only annoying. People say that when they do not want to be nice, when they simply do not want to help and think the person asking the question should find it out themselves by digging through an often very long and unclear manual.

Yes, I know, I was thinking they just wanted to clear their cache, but re-reading it I guess they wanted to clear the history in the drop down box, my mistake.gerben said:
