Cleaning the Registry

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

I've written a batch file that cleans my registry, and another that I run 
through the autoexec that cleans up windows other messes. I've also written 
a Euphoria program that does the same and a little more. I think i've been
able to clean up just about everything except the search history in the 
drop-down address bar. I am using windows 98se, I have 2000 but can't get it
to install on my old NEC Pentium II computer without flashing the BIOS. I 
don't know how to do that, and I don't want to pay someone to do it for me. 
Some day I may become confident enough to give it a try, but for now i'm just
sticking with what i've got. Can some one tell me where to find the address 
bar seach history in the system registry (if that's what it's called)? I 
can't find it, well, not all of it. What key(s) to delete and what not to 
delete? You know, when I click the drop down arrow, i get nothing, thats 
good, but when I place an r in the address bar I get every web site i've 
visited that begins with r, like rapideuphoria, or any other key, a, b, c, 
etc. Where is it? I've looked in hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\
internet explorer\explorer bars, and every where else I could think of, but 
I don't know what i'm looking at in there. It's coded somehow I guess like 
MS Word, but Word has away to stop storing the recent docs list in the 
application itself? Explain? 
Anyone?

Thanks,
Bill
