How to Erase the Address Bar From MSN Explorer

MSN Explorer is web-browsing software that puts together the Internet Explorer (IE) web browser with other Microsoft programs such as Hotmail and Windows Live Messenger. The MSN address bar stores your web searches and displays the addresses automatically the next time you start typing them. IE and MSN Explorer share information, so to erase the address bar history from MSN Explorer, you must also remove it from IE. To keep MSN from saving web addresses, set IE to automatically clear out browser history. MSN Explorer will adjust to the new setting and stop saving your address bar history.
