    Does anyone know how to delete items from the autodelete feature in OE? Mine is full of junk and needs a prune!

    Not quite with you on this - what exactly do you mean by the autodelete feature?

    AutoCOMPLETE in OE

    Sorry for the confusion- I must have had a brainstorm at the time! I did mean Autocomplete.
    Regards, Glyn

    edit note: I changed your title by replacing autodelete with autocomplete. This way, someone searching for an answer to the same question will be more likely to find this thread. Newt

    If you are happy in the Registry start Regedit and go .....

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > Typed URLS

    Delete those entries in the right hand pane that you no longer require. For safety export Typed URLS from the registry before you start deleting :)
