I was wondering if there is a setting that would get rid of my typing in an address in the IE Search the Web box and then not show all of the prior sites addresses that I had visited; which appear beneath the search box?

I did go to Tools, Internet Options, Content TAB, and then Clear Forms and that did not get rid of the prior sites addresses that I had been to appearing when I typed an address in the Search the Web box.

Any input/s would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input tq1911.

I made the settings that you indicated and for some reason still have the same issue of IE showing a prior visited site in a drop down box as I type in a new, or same internet address.
