Links in your Favorites will always show up in the address b

If you have a link in your IE Favorites or desktop, it will always show up in your IE Address Bar. It has nothing to do with your browsing history. If you go to the IE Address Bar and type "a" (without the quotes), it will show all your Favorites links that start with "a". Do that with all the other letters of the alphabet - same thing. My guess is that you have a link somewhere in/on your computer (probably in Favorites) to the website you are concerned about.

To show picture of your problem

Hi,

You asked how to copy your picture or desktop to show it. I don't think you can post it on here as they do not have an attachment key as far as I can see. But if you do want to post on another site or send to some one firstly open word or word pad then minimise then go to your window that shows your problem, then choose just the window that is open press ctrl and alt and then V go to your open word or word pad and click paste this will put the picture of the window you choose on to your word page.

The easiest way to print your screen is to press the key print screen and paste into your open word or word pad but this will as it says print screen meaning will print all that you see all windows etc. By doing the first option you will print only the screen or window you click first.

Hope this helps for your window picture.

after you've done what the other folks suggest...

...use "Restore Explorer" to backup Explorer to current state. Any time you need to go back (thus eliminating any tracks), use this tiny app - 92KB.

EditURLs

Try using a free application called EditURLs. It allows you to keep all the addresses you want and get rid of all you don't. Hope this helps.
