Thanks for your reply and everyone else's. I am using SM 2.17.1 -- I
went to localstore.rtf in my version, but see nothing indicating the
URLs are stored here. I am sure they are stored somewhere, but
where, and wherever they are stored, wonder if that is a binary file,
or one that can be edited with a text editor.
The right way to save URLs so you can visit them again is to use
bookmarks (MS: favorites); this is what the feature is designed for. The
location bar is more like a short-term memory for places you just
visited a couple of minutes ago and didn't bother to bookmark.
The only things that show up in the location bar pull-down are things
you've manually typed into the location bar, which is probably a very
small percentage of the sites you've visited. For a complete list of
everywhere you've been (since the last time you cleared it), use Go |
History or CTRL-H to view the history.
Depending on your settings at Edit | Privacy & Security, the location
bar and the browser history are normally cleared when you clear private
data, either automatically on shutdown (if enabled) or manually. But
bookmarks are never cleared by mistake or by accident. You have to make
a special effort to delete them.
I have so many bookmarks, it isn't even funny. The ones I go to the
most, I organized into bookmark folders -- but as I said I'm lazy -- I
like the convenience of that right click on the URL to go to sites I go
to many times a day. My bookmarks are so long, you have to scroll
through a few pages of bookmarks to get to the ones at the bottom.
BTW, I got rid of that bookmark -- I was typing in a lot of URLs, and
then just typed in the correct URL for the page in question -- case
closed (for now).
