Whenever you open a site in Internet Explorer, its URL is saved automatically and can be seen by clicking on the little down arrow in the addressbar.

Many times we want to delete a particular URL from this list. Internet Explorer provides a way to clear the whole History. You can also set the days to store the history from Internet Explorer Options but there is no way to delete any particular URL from history.

Today we'll tell you how can you delete your desired URL from IE History:

1. Type regedit in RUN dialog box and press Enter. Now goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Thanks for the info. But there is still a problem. Although the url is gone from the drop down list, it comes back again if first characterof the url is typed in the address bar. The url is still somewhere in the system. Pl suggest to remove one url completely. I am using IE7. Thanks again.

Thanks so much.
Might I add that you should delete it off of your history first, because sometimes it might not work.

CTRL+H and then right click on it and delete.
