    I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking. What type of entries are you talking about?

    When you use for instance exployer and you type your name or address it will store this information in a file so that when you use it again it auto fills the entries. similar to word with autofill. thanks

    This is the guy that pops up with prior typed address toolbar url entries, when manually typing in the address pane:

    IE>tools>internet options>advanced tab>browsing category>disable "use inline auto complete "


    Also have a look at the:

    IE>Tools>internet options>content tab>category "Personal information "> "auto complete button "

    -----Additional nfo--------
    To enter Web information more easily

    The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web addresses, forms, and passwords. Then, when you type information in one of these fields, AutoComplete suggests possible matches. These matches can include folder and program names you type into the Address bar, and search queries, stock quotes, or information for just about any other field you fill in on a Web page.

    In the Address bar, a field on a Web page, or a box for a user name or password, start typing the information.
    If you've typed a similar entry before, AutoComplete lists possible matches as you type.

    If a suggestion in the list matches what you want to enter in that field, click the suggestion.
    If no suggestion matches what you are typing, continue typing.

    Notes

    The information used for suggested matches is stored on your computer and is encrypted to protect your privacy.
    Web sites cannot gain access to this information. They can receive only what you explicitly enter in forms.
    When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove an item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing the DELETE key. To learn how to delete entries from the Address bar list, click Related Topics below.
    -------------------------
    To adjust AutoComplete settings

    You can configure AutoComplete to save and suggest only the information you want. You can choose whether to use AutoComplete for Web addresses, forms, and passwords, or not use it all. You can also clear the history for any of these.

    In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    Click the Content tab.
    Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.
    Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options you want to use.

    ---------------------
    To delete Autocomplete entries from the Address bar list

    The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web addresses, forms, and passwords. To delete entries from the Address bar, you must clear your History folder. You cannot clear individual entries from the list of saved entries.

    On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
    Click the General tab.
    Under History, click Clear History.
    Notes

    When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove an item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing the DELETE key.
    For Help on an item, click at the top of the dialog box, and then click the item.
