How to Delete Individual Items From the IE7 Drop-Down History
Websites that you have visited while using Internet Explorer 7, or IE7, will remain listed in the drop-down history of the program. Every item listed in the drop-down history can be removed by deleting the browsing history in Internet Explorer. You may only wish to remove one or a few items from the list of visited websites. Your computer's registry editor will allow you to delete individual items from the IE7 drop-down history.
