I can't clear an item off my history list...

markp · 10-14-2006, 02:35 PM

Hello

I was browsing online for a birthday present for my girlfriend. She uses the computer more often than me.

I cleared the computer history after using it (which I always do) but when I enter the first letter of the address where I bought the present, the whole address re-appears in the address bar!!

For every other letter of the alphabet, nothing appears. It's as though I've deleted every record from the history list except this one particular page which takes you straight to the item I bought her

I cleared the history by selecting Tools\Internet Options\Clear History.

Is there anything else I can do so I can remove this? I would like her birthday present to be a surprise after all!!

Please dont double post.

I answered your question here: There's one item I can't shift off my history list

Sorry

I thought afterwards that it was better in the second thread.

I've read your response and I've tried autocomplete but that doesn't work
