    Talking Nice but.....

    That works for the actual files but Internet explorer keeps those files stored in it when you click the dropdown address bar. I can delete the files but i was wondering if it is possible through some wierd call to delete those out of IE?

    Thanks anyways

    Talking IE History

    cls224,

    I believe what you are looking for can be found in the Registry Branch:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

    -Strangely enough the DELTREE commands DON'T work on my machine, so if you got some other method of doing this post a reply!
