Delete a specific URL at the Internet Explorer Address Bar History
Published October 17th, 2006 in All Categories, Internet Explorer
When you use Internet Explorer to browse to a website and do so by directly typing the URL in the 
address bar, the URL you’ve typed will be saved. This is useful for your own use, but in case you’re using a computer of co-worker (or your wife, even nastier), and the URL you’ve typed is, hmmm… how should I say, a bit suspicious, then that URL could be viewed by the other user by pulling down the list.
If you’ve logged on as your own user then that’s ok, but if you’ve temporarily used a different user’s account to "just check in your email" (wink wink…), then that might get you into trouble. That’s why you may want to remove, delete or clear the history of links from Internet Explorer address bar.
Now here is the tricky part. We all know that you could simply clear your IE history (Internet Explorer > Tools >Internet Options > General tab > click Clear History), however that’ll clear ALL your history, including the address bar URL cache. That we do not want, because that’ll just signal the "other user" (e.g. wife) that you’ve done something you wanted to hide. And that my friend, is harder to explain.
