On my laptop, there is many sites on the address bar auto fill. I deleted the history manually as well as the temp and temperary internet files, but it still shows up. My connection is a network to another home computer so I tried clearing the history on that machine as well, but no result. Also, this is the school's laptop and I don't have priviledges to access Internet Options or control panel. Even after I deleted the files, connected to the schools network, and synchronized it, and even cleared the history at school, it still remains in the auto fill drop down menu. Is there a way to get rid of this? If not, how long will it last? Forever? I really hope not.

General Disclaimer - Happy Online would like to remind all visitors that they are responsible for their own computer settings - some suggestions may not work on some computers and may result in errors - you should only make changes to your computer if you are comfortable with any consequences that may arise.

If you are unable to clear your history then the addresses will probably stay there for as long as the retained number of days history is set in the History section of Internet Options. Some Addresses may still appear even longer than that.

Unfortunately, if you dont have access to Internet Options I am unable to suggest a way of clearing your History.

There are some software programs that clear address history and you should be able to get a free trial version of this software - however, depending on your priviledges you may not be able to run this software.

Therefore, you may need to approach the school to see if they are able to change your priviledges or clear the history for you.
