Take a look at CCleaner as a tool to remove Internet history info, cookies,
temp files, auto complete and other junk.
In the 'Windows' tab listing check the item types you want deleted.
Also available is customization, see Options/Custom to add any
other/additional folders you want files deleted from.

and Clear List (depending on which Start Menu you are using): Right click
the Start button/Properties/Customize/Advanced/Recent Documents/Clear List.

Temp Files: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp & TIF

Try searching on the web site's name (example: www.myweb.com), enter
'*myweb*' in the search box (without the quotes).
Search files/folders and registry.

Kelly,

With as short of a list of fixes at your site, I can see where you "just
whipped them up" in a spare minute or two. Great work Kelly ;-)

Kelly,

I see you are copying registry keys that other users & I have supplied in this
newsgroup to expand your minimal knowledge

Secondly:

C\Docs & Settings... I know many users who have D:\Docs & Settings... No mention
in your reply about the drive letter

Thirdly,

You haven't told the user how to get into the registry & which keys to delete in
the right pane

You also forgot to tell the user if in the OpenSaveMRU for the Common Dialog Box
Control if he/she has to delete the STRING/DWORD values or both

The recent file list can be cleaned via a shortcut. Did you know that? NO of
course you never

What about [Drive Letter]\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\content.IE5? There arte subdirectories with
cached files too

The users original post asked about the TypedUrls... List. So, in your reply of
cleaning the Temp files is totally wrong

Talking of Temp files you can use START | RUN | Type %temp% & press ENTER to get
there. Plus you never told the OP about this directory... is hidden & how to
unhide it. Also, what about the [Drive Letter]\Windows\Temp directory? Maybe you
forgot that too

From your reply about the RunMRU... you missed out StreamMRU too, Doc Find Spec
MRU ('one' of the 'find' files... registry keys)

Maybe you should go to the Windows 2000 Resource Kit & brush up on your registry
skills as they are terribly lacking:


http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2rkbook/regentry.mspx?mfr=true

Also, Internet Explorer 7 has a different utility to clean files. You have
replied to IE6 & not for IE 7.

Ishamay,

What is the entry you have listed?

You can use this tool to control Typed Urls:

Did what you just explained: found similar issue. Located the registry key
as:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

You should find a number of entries like: url1, url10, url11, .... and so
on.
Search here and you should find it.

LOL! Newbie Coder telling Kelly she has "minimal knowledge" of the
registry! I love it! It's like a 9-year-old telling Albert Einstein
he has "minimal knowledge" of physics!

Try this, it worked for me:
1) Open Internet Explorer
2) In the Menu Bar select: View/Explorer Bar/History
(Ctrl+h)
3) In the History Window click on the Search icon option.
4) In the Search for field enter that web site entry that you have not been
able to delete.
5) Click on the Search Now button.
6) After the search has finished you should see a list of web sites (note
that they may not exactly match what you entered in the Search for box).
7) Right click on each entry and select the Delete option.
8) Close IE
9) Open Regedit and search on that URL name.
10) Delete all the registry entries you find.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

You should find a number of entries like: url1, url10, url11, .... and so
on.
continue search the entire registry and delete as required (I only found two
locations in the registry)

11) Reopen IE. You should no longer have that ugly URL in the list.

Ken,

Kelly started with XP - that's not long ago at all

All Kelly's registry fixes are all ove the Internet, Registry Guides from
Windows 2000 Resource Kit...

And if you knew much Ken you'd know that most of the registry tweaks were
available in Windows 2000 & some date to Windows 95, but Kelly wouldn't know
that as its 7 years before her time

I don't know when Kelly started, nor do I care. I do know that she
knows a lot, and much more than you do.

How much somebody knows has very little to do with how many years
experience he or she has. I've seen *many* people with so-called 20
years experience who in reality had one year of experience repeated 20
times.
