Hi Tom - The list of sites you mention is called something like the IE8 Address Bar Drop Down History List. Try this: Click the down arrow to show the list, and scroll down to the entry you want to delete. Hold the mouse over it so it is highlighted and a red X should appear on the right side. Just click the X for each entry you want to erase.
Hope that works, Donk On 9/14/2010 6:42 PM, Tom wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm a new member of the group and this is my first message.
