This might be a silly question… Where do you find the registry? How do you delete URL’s you’ve typed into your computer.. and how to clear your complete history for the day.. adaware, norton,websweeper, and where ever else things might be lurking?

How do you delete URL’s you’ve typed into your computer.
You can control how much history is kept by adjusting the setting found in Tools, Internet Options, General tab, History box, Days to keep pages in history setting.

Kudo’s information is good as well… you can control or eliminate things like saving information you type into forms, as well as into the dropdown URL list through the internet options in just about any browser.
