Is your Internet Explorer drop down address bar full of old addresses that you will never use again? Mine isn't, because I have fixed that problem by getting rid of them. Want to know how? Then keep reading.

First off, to view your history, click the little arrow at the end of the address bar. If you want to delete single entries, just highlight an address and click the little X.

But say you want to delete ALL of it. What then?

Simple enough.

Go to Tools>Internet Options and look under Browsing History.

Click Delete.

A window will open up asking you what you'd like to delete. Simply un-check everything except History and click Delete.

Voila! Your Drop-Down history is deleted! Who knew it could be so easy?
