Update : I notice it will delete other web addresses but there are a couple of web addresses that it will not delete. One of them is Ironworksforum and the other is *cough* ahem *cough* site. What ever I do it will forever appear in the list of addresses.

This *cough* ahem *cough* web address is the one I desperately need to delete.

How about re-installing IE? Or switching to Firefox/Opera? Or getting System Mechanic or CCleaner or similar programs to try and clean those things up?

What Xen said.

If you're browsing sensitive sites, then IE is not the one to use - records of your browsing are kept in numerous and obscure locations on your computer.

Both Firefox and Opera store history and cache in easily deletable areas. Opera has an incredibly detailed "delete private data" dialogue that will allow you to completely tailor your clean-up.

From a security point of view - if these particular sites are those that have more adult content on them, they are often extremely malicious and many imbed nasty tricks in them to catch Internet Explorer users and install software without their permission (eg trojans and keyloggers). In my many days of cleaning up Windows computers at university, browsing sensitive sites with IE was the number one cause of their problems!

Switch!

ok try this.

1. close IE
2. Right click the IE icon and click properties.
3. Set your History to 0
4. Clear history
5. Delete your Temp Files and Cookies
6. Open IE.
7. Click your History button (it open up a explorer type window on your left)
8. If the site is still there then right click and delete the site.

That should get rid of it.

Once again also run spyware/adware just incase.

Wow! I can't believe none of you know how to do this. Here it is:

EDIT - oops looks like I clicked "add reply" too soon by mistake. I'd delete this post but then shamrock_uk's next post would make no sense
