RUn XP Home, using RUN command line I notice when I enter a letter, such as "t", a list appears that includes http URLs and others that contain t. How can I clear this list of names I apparently typed into other searches, some of which come from using my browser (Firefox)?
I doubled the size of the Taskbar to accomodate the shortcuts to web pages, and I drag URL's to the Taskbar. After a few days of use, the icons are replaced by IE default icons.
Is there any way to delete the urls shown in the top left box on my pc, and how? Not much on the workings of theses things .Just looking to clean up some personal stuff.

I am trying to get to foodtv.com and this comes up( http:///?%20www.foodtv.com) and I can't get to the web page...I delete the beginning bt the page won't display...I've cleared my history and my cookies.
I had a BSOD (registry corruption) yesterday (well, closer to today) and i fixed it within the hour (i.e. as soon as i found a windows disc) however, all web browsers and related programs (firefox, lynx, wget) are now strangely unable to access the internet (also μtorrent b/c it cant access trackers), everything else works fine, including Apache.
I can't seem to fix this problem on my computer, it wouldn't go on online with either foxfire or internet explorer. So I did the network diagnostic and it said that the connection was repaired but it only works for a couple sites then it fails again.message comes up HTTP, HTTPS, FTP connectivity required
I am having this problem browsing to the http://www.e-geniuses.com , i get http 404 error message, but my buddy said he can view it find. Do you think there is a problem with my browser or my CPU. Can anyone else tell me if they have the same problem viewing it also and if you have a fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help in advance. Also i use internet explorer it that helps at all.
I can't really explain the problem, but look at this footage of my computer in its problem. Click on the link to view my problem. http://media.putfile.com/MOV00475
my computer is always getting a blue screen of death, once I'm logged in my session (I'm on my sister session right now). The blue screen of death said that the file in cause is HTTP.SYS.
I de-infected a windows XP system with SP3 and IE7. Once I did that, http no longer loaded in IE. It does not work in portable firefox either. I can type in ftp:// ftp address and IE works. Likewise I can use https:// and the page loads! What is going on: I tried:
1) Reset ie7 as per MS 2) Removed IE 7 2a) IE6 would not load http either 3) reapplied SP3 4) Repair install win winxp cd. 5) Deleted and re-installed network card
This is where I am now. Still no http://. Since multiple applications are affected, I do not think it is a browser helper.
Recently, my XP windows drop down bar has taken on a ghostly apperance (non-apperance). When I right click on a menu item, I see a ghoast of the right side and bottom line of the dropdown list, but no choice text. Only after I mouse over each of the dropdown choices does any text appear. I find this somewhat concerning, because I don't know what caused the change.Where can I redefine the appearance of the dropdown. I tried looking in Display but don't know the location to adjust.
I am running window XP Pro and suddenly I am having some major issues. Not sure if it's a virus, spyware or something else. I've run AVG free virus scan and AVG free spyware and got nothing out of it.I've also formatted my hard drive and re-installed windows and STILL have the problems. Here's what's happening if ANYONE can get this fixed for me, you're a real pro.First off, I can't drag and drop anything.I can right click and copy (or cut) then paste elsewhere, but I can't move desktop icons around, or drag them to the recycle bin, or any sort of drag and drop.
Also, very frequently, all the sudden, I won't be able to click anything. No shortcuts, no quick launch icons, NOTHING! My computer acts kinda like it's hung, but the mouse works fine, just when I mouse over a button or icon, I get nothing, same thing when I click the button or icon nothing. however, I have oddly noticed that if I press CRTL+ALT+DEL, then simply close down the task manager right away, without doing anything, my PC will let me click icons and buttons again, but still no drag and drop after a few minutes it'll mess up on me again, then CTRL+ALT+DEL and close task manager again to get back in business.
When accessing different web sites that has a drop down menu (i.e. trying to buy something online and the web site is asking you to input your CC information and provides you a drop down menu to select which country your from and/or a expiration date), the selections are blank. It appears that there is something there for me to select (As if it's White Font on a White Background
I can't get the drop down menus to open up. When I click on folder icons, nothing happens. I've run Spybot, my virus program and System Mechanic. Nothing.
When I am saving a file I often use a single letter for example X If i wish to continue using the X's for example XX or XXX etc etc I used to get a drop down box telling me when I had used that name. This has vanished. I now have to manually count the letters how can I get this drop down box back please.
To delete a url i have visited from the address drop down field of my home page and from the drop down field of dogpile or any other search engine for that matter.
When I use an online search engine as soon as I start to type the content in the search box I get a dropdown box with umpteen different possible solutions as to what I am typing. How do I stop this box from droping down
I was wondering how to remove web addresses from the dropdown bar in IE. After going to clear history, there always remains one web address and i have no clue how to delete it.
When you right-click on a folder or file you get a dropdown menu that has a list of options. i.e. Open, Send To, Properties, etc.My questions are, Does this menu have a name? What is it? Where does it reside? How can it be modified to remove unwanted items? (Some programs put an item in this menu when they are installed)
I am having difficulty with text diplaying in bizarre fashion. The machine is a Dell Optiplex tower operating Windows XP Pro. When I am in an application or browsing web pages and choose one of the dropdown boxes, the box drops down and shows the outside lines of the box. Then when you swipe your cursor over the dropdown it will display the text that is invisible. All that I have to do to show the text is pass the cursor over the area. If I do not swipe the are with the cursor the text will be there, I assume, but never display.Has anyone encountered this issue before.
I have done a search in the newsgroup and come up empty. Is there a way to clear you search list in google. Everytime I go to do a search, is provides a NOW large dropdown list. This is not necessary, is there a way to clear it?
I had gone to a couple of gaming sites researching on some games and out of nowhere, it had popped up adult sites all over the place. I did all my spyware software and cleared out all the adult crap, but all of a sudden, they are showing up on my address dropdown list! Even after running the software, I thought that would clear them off the list.Is there anyway besides clearing out all of the history that I can get rid of the one or 2 individual adult web addresses?
A minor problem. When my "Favorites" list becomes crowded I highlight items and delete them. Simple. Now the dropdown list from my Address Bar has become crowded and I realize I don't know how to delete old items. Can't highlight and delete like the Favorites.
How do I get my visited websites to remain. Twice in the last week, I've lost the recent websites I've visited. I have IE6 and when I click on the drop down for the address bar, the box is empty. People usually want to delete this, but I want to be able to keep it.No viruses or spyware.
Normally, when I use the drop down arrow on the address bar, it still has recently visited sites saved that I can easily navigate to. In the last day or so though, when I click nothing happens and everything has to be re-typed. Does anyone think they know what the problem is?
