IE 5.5 Autocomplete?

[Jal]

When I type in an address, I get it pop up at me, even though my history is clear, cookies nuked, etc. etc.

It was an old favorite, so I assume it is in some file, yet not showing up in my Favs. -- make sense? 🙂

Anyone know where the Favorites are stored on disk?

Cant find this link in the registry either.. Blechhhh.

edit: running on Windows2000

It shouldn't be in the favorites (documents and settings\<user name>\favorites), but try clearing your history again (and setting days down to 0), as well as clearing cache (temporary internet files) and disabling AutoComplete under tools>options>content>personal information.

Don't forget to clean cookies off your hard drive.

Nuked it all, double checked, still does it.. Maybe autocomplete compared to Favs.. Even with autocomplete off, it pops up on the address bar as I type

Clear Internet Explorer Typed URL History (Windows 9x and NT)
Internet Explorer caches any URL's that are typed into the address bar. This could become a privacy issue on a shared computer, or it may become a nuisance if there is a particular URL you want to remove without clearing the whole history.
Open your registry and find the key below and delete any value you want to remove.


Settings:
Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
TypedURLs]
