How to Delete Items From the Address Drop Down List in IE
Whenever you surf the Web, the addresses of the visited pages are stored in Internet Explorer's memory. This becomes useful if you forget the URL and want to look it up in the browsing history. However, if you work on a public computer, you might want to delete the items from the address drop-down menu after you are finished working. You have an option of either deleting the entire history or just the selected pages using Internet Explorer's features.
