[i had just finished typing this up and was about to spellcheck when my laptop froze. Gotta love Vista.... Forgive me if i forgot something.]

i'm using Opera 9.62 build 10467 (Windows Vista SP1), and URLs typed into the address bar are still there after cleaning. i don't know when this started, but given the age of the URLs it's been a while. (Maybe when i installed 9.62? i don't know.) i downloaded the latest version of CCleaner and ran it to no avail.

Any confirmation or is it just me? Any solutions?

Have a read of all this thrread, should sort it for you

Sorry, just tried the about:config setting and ran CC, but the typed in URLs are still there.

i was not talking about the list of recommended or previously visited URLs that pops up when you start typing in addresses, or any other Opera specific feature. In every major browser (IE, FF, Opera, etc.), when you type in a URL, the URL you typed in can be pulled up again by clicking the downward arrow to the right of the address bar. CC used to remove these in Opera, but it isn't removing them now, at least not for me.

Again, is this just me? Can anyone else think of anything?

I have the things in the link applied in Opera and I have nothing at all listed when I click the downward arrow on the address Bar.

Exactly the same. If you disable the menu, it doesn't drop down at all, no matter how many addresses you've typed in.

Did you remember to "save" after unchecking the box?

Yes. (To be honest, it took me three tries to remember to press save, but the third time i did remember to press save.) The checkbox is still clear.

Before posting this response i tried clearing the typed in addresses the old fashion way: i went to "Delete private data" and deleted the history of visited pages. Now it works like you've been saying: there's no drop down no matter how many sites i visit.

So thanks for your help!

Glad you are sorted now
