Please if anyone has any information!...

Basically, I can delete my temporary internet files and clear my history folder to get rid of the internet sites ive visited.

However, when i type into the address bar, for example www.g
a list of a few old websites beginning with 'g' that ive visited appear, as a drop list under the address bar. And same goes for different letters, when i start to type in an address, a list will appear of recognised sites, from ages ago! Why does the computer remember these sites and not others? I havnt saved them in any way? My favourites do not even come up??

How do I delete these internet shortcuts?? Ive tried everything but they will not go anywhere! Please anyone with any information please help!!

WOW

THank you soo much really

I appreciate your reply so much. i have tried , Everything!! and i mean everything. didnt realise it was so simple!

The main problem has gone, however i did notice when i click on history; then go to search and type in letters or sites; the same list comes up. Is it possible to get rid of these sites permanently?

Have you downloaded CCleaner? If not get it here and then run it.

Let me know if that fixes your problem. If you have already done this than also tell me.
