Hi,
I want to delete some unused or unwanted urls from IE drop down list
(those revealed by selecting drop down list button at Address window).
How can I do that ? If I want to erase all address list altogether,
how to do ?
Tks!
You can remove them, edit them, sort them and save to a master list with EditURL.
It's a great little app and the price is right -free. I know it works up to ver IE6,
if you use IE7 I don't know if it will or not, I haven't tried it in that yet.

Those entries in IE's drop-down URL Address box are stored in the registry,
up to 25 IIRC.

Instead of going into the registry to selectively delete unwanted entries,
and having to manually renumber each entry to keep the list you want intact,
use this free utility to do what you want:

I noticed the 12hr difference between our posts and thought it odd you were
suggesting the same app. Not anymore now that I see I had a brain drain on adding
the link to the page for it. [|:o (
