Already tried that, too. (Ran CC with IE (and everything except traybar pgms) closed.)

No, but something else is interesting. Clearing the history within IE doesn't clear these entries either. It appears that these are also entries of the most recent sites visited, and they were visited via links. At least some of them were "opened in new tab".

CCleaner 2.05.555 IE version 7.0.5730.11 Delete browsing history is checked. If I run CCleaner, the drop down "history" is gone, but if you type a double slash in the URL address bar or start typing a URL, all visited URLS are still there! I have been a CCleaner evangalist for quite some time, but this is a fairly gross issue.
