How to remove URL from address bar?
Internet Explorer. I'm trying to figure this out, I've cleaned all histories and when I type in "www.bec" it'll show up with beckett.com - etc for other websites too. How do I clean that out? I've tried everything =|

Close all IE windows after you clear the history, then reopen it. It should work.

You can clear the history through IE, or also in Start > Settings > Start Bar and Task Bar, the second one cleans out everything like my documents history as well I believe.
Once you've done that stop visiting sites you don't want your parents to know aboutSteve

Go to ControlPanel/ Add-Remove Programs / Select MS InternetExplorer / Click on AddRemove / Click on Repair IE / restart
Next Right click on an empty part of the task bar at the bottom of the screen and select- properties - advanced - clear - apply - OK
You can also install MS TweakUI which is useful for many windows tweaks. It installs to ControlPanel folder. [After installing the remove IE address field history is under Paronia menu tab in TweakUI]

That's wrong above, do this,
Tools >> Internet Options >> Contact Tab
Click AutoComplete and Uncheck the web addresses check box That will work how you want it to.
EDIT: Also, make sure you click both the clear tabs at the bottom███ ServeYourSite

You have to Repair IE as I have explained above if nothing else works. It gets corrupted sometimes and hence you will not be able to delete the addresses.
