I'm using IE6.  Is there any way to clear website addresses from the drop
down history list on the Address Bar without clearing the browser history
itself?

If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

Hi,
These URLs are in the TypedURLs key in the registry. This article explains
the TypedURLs history:

Removing some or all entries is an easy registry edit.

This free program makes it even easier to remove some or all entries:
EditURLs http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/index.htm

Tip: If you type URLs in via File> Open, instead of the address bar, they
aren't saved in the TypedURLs key and you can keep a select few URLs in the
drop-down list.

Hope this helps,
Don
