Use regedit.


Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

That's normally what I use but sometimes it doesn't seem to get them all.

Just turn inline autocomplete off. One time my buddy was over and he wanted me to fix his video driver problem, so I pull up google and start typing in what I was searching for and the autocomplete menu pops down and it's like "BBW, fat chicks, blah blah blah" and the dude turns like BEET red. Good times.

This is quite hilarious. First he admits to porn, but not on a family computer, then he denies it. And some people say that there is no such thing as a conscience?

My frosh year of college, I was doing some research on my ex-bf's computer (he shared the comp with his 3 male roommates)... and everything I typed in would result in an automatic porn link. i.e. If I typed in "www.a" I would get www.asianmamas.com (or something like that), if I typed in "www.b" I would get www.bustybabes.com (or something like that), etc. etc. Porn links from a to z.
