URL History Wont Delete
I hope this is in the right forum. Anyway, all of my searches with iGoogle will not ckear from the URL bar. I am using internet explorer. I have tried deleting my history, deleting cookies, deleting temporary internet files (including the offline content) and setting my history to 0 days. None of that has worked. Can anyone help?

Did you do this:

Launch Regedit from the Start menu's Run dialog and navigate to the key named HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ TypedURLs. The values in the right-hand pane have names like url1, url2, url3, and so on. Scan the list to locate the one that contains the unwanted URL, take careful note of its name, and delete it.

Now you need to "patch" the list to eliminate the gap created by deleting that name. Find the value whose name includes the greatest number. Note that the values are sorted as if they were text, so url10 comes before url2. Change the name of that highest-numbered value to the name of the value you deleted. If you don't do this, IE will ignore the items after the deleted one.
