[JIMRULES]

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET RIDE OF UNWANTED URLS FROM THE DROPDOWN BAR, PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME. THANKS

open the menu - TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS > CLEAR HISTORY.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Right click any unwanted URL and click Delete.

To clear all drop down URLs including Typed URLs, open notepad and copy/paste the below as typedURLs.inf :

; To execute this file: in Explorer - right-click (this file)
; Select: "Install" from the menu.

[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"

[DefaultInstall]
DelReg=DelTemps
AddReg=AddTemps

[DelTemps]
HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs"

; now let's recreate the entry, to prevent the need to reboot.

[AddTemps]
HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs"

--------------------------- end copy/paste above this line

Right-click on the saved file and choose Install.

Keep in mind that deleting the listing from your local machine does not hide all your internet surfing activities.

In particular, my .INF file above does not touch the History files, which is either its strength or as Auger282 notes a weakness.
