How do I clean out the list of sites that build up in this tool bar? I've tried unchecking and rechecking the address option in the toolbar selection popup menu from the taskbar. I've also cleared all the sections under tools --> options --> privacy from the Firefox dropdown menu. Maybe I need to do something from within IE rather than Firefox? Maybe this post belongs under browsers/internet rather than XP, but the toolbar in question is unique to XP, or XP and ME, is it not?
can any one please tell me how do you get rid of all the www address you collect in your drop down address browser at the top of the page in internet explorer someone once told me how to get rid of them in windows 98 but i have forgot what they said think it was something like go to run type in re something then follow the on screen info but cant remember it.
Does anyone know how to get rid or permantly delete the websites you have visited on the Address Browser bar! When I Click on the arrow on the Address bar it shows all websites that I have visited. I would like to know if this is possible to delete.
I used windows xp while back and I know the explorer (not internet explorer, i mean windows explorer) had a *working* address bar. I haven't used xp since vista came out until I bought my netbook a few weeks back. My netbook came with windows xp sp3 and i can't get the address bar. I go to toolbars and enable address bar, but i dont see the actual address bar, it only shows the words address bar.
The windows explorer address bar is gone. I've already checked/unchecked View>Toolbars>Address Bar several times--no help. This is XP Home. It works fine on my other PC running XP Pro.
I use to update my Xp SP-2 regularly from MS website. Now a days it is insisting to install "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)" first to proceed for downloading update files.Is it a FORCE or I can bypass this tool. I do not want to install it, as somebody told me this is a tool by MS to takeout personal information on my OS (XP) and MS Office and other MS Software.I know I use genuine legal copy.But why should I allow MS to take more information ? Is not WPA through internet is not sufficient ? Can this tool take information on other products/3rd party software like NERO,MS OFFICE and ArcSOft ?
I am running xp pro. I can not get an internet connection through my ethernet card. When I hook up my modem through usb it works fine but unable to utilize my full download speed capabilities. Hooked the modem up via ethernet to laptop and it worked just fine. The only thing I can find wrong that I don't know how to fix or what is causing it is the fact that the physical address of the card comes up as the broadcast address (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF). Very strange.
I opened my computer and decided to goto internet through the my computer window. So I pressed home button of my key board so the My Computer window converted to a web page. But after that the address bar disappeared. I closed the window and restart the machine and opened the internet explorer, but still address bar is missing. I checked under the tools and I can see the tick infront of the address bar.
We have run across a problem here with APIPA addressing. After we install Windows updates, Windows assigns an APIPA address in the 169.254.x.x range, instead of getting an address from the DHCP server. The effect is that the computer loses connectivity with the network and the Internet. You can confirm this problem by running an IPCONFIG and checking for an address in the 169.254 range.
Releasing and renewing the address does not correct the problem. Assigning a static IP address resolved the issue. Searching the Microsoft Knowledge Base, we found a registry hack that will disable APIPA addressing on the computer, and this does correct the problem so the computer can connect to the network again. We assume that the problem is a result of an update from last Tuesday, but we have not determined which update is the problem. We are still looking. Our concern is that as DHCP leases expire with computers in the field, that this effect may appear. If you get calls for loss of network or Internet connectivity, have the user run IPCONFIG, and if they have an APIPA address, the registry hack is outlined in KB article

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, so I hope you will excuse me as it is my first time here. This question is from my brother who cannot get a web address to enter into his address section on IE. What might you suggest he do so I can pass your information on?

I may not be asking this right but here goes for win xp. Let's say you are going to log in and you type the letter " D " for example and any name that you use in the pass shows up in a drop down below, then you can pick a previous typed name. OK My question is can you clear this list? It's annoying because I left out a letter from a e-mail address,
Typing the letter "c" into I.E.'s location box produces a list of previously typed sites that begin with that letter, as an example. Clearing HISTORY or TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES does not affect this list.The names therein do not appear in the registry or MRU lists. What's the secret to remove them.
when i click "search" (i'm going to my posts) the drop down menu is "clear" words are black but menu drops down over the other words on the page and it's difficult to see what is on the menu. is there someway i could have the menu background a color
Temp to clear the temporary internet files. I have installed Dual OS - Win 98 in C: and Win XP in D:. I am using Win XP mainly. For the past few months when i try to use this command it throws an error at me saying Windows cannot find D:Documents. But i know that usually there will no folder called Documents rather than Documents and Settings.
I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows xp. Now my sound is messed up. I can turn the volume up as loud as it will go and it's very quiet coming out of the speakers. I checked all of the settings and even went so far as to buy a new soundcard, but the problem persists.
how can i clear the drop-down lists in Internet explorer,like when i chick to put a user name in somewhere, but so many have been added in i have to scroll down to find my user names.
When you use any Windows plaform (XP, 2000, NT4, 98...) to logon to domain,the logon dialog box always shows the username and domain (last successfulattempt).
Is it possible to clear the username (so username and password field are empty when next logon)?
It is because we have some computers that shared by many different users. I don't want to let them know who was the last successful logon
