Thank you for the info. David, I un-checked the box marked recently typed URLs, but I suppose I have to run something to make the tick effective. so far, I still can"t retain any addresses in the bar. Regards Mike Holmes

Keith, thanks for the reply. No,I have not changed any of the settings as far as I can remember, which is not far, since my short term memory is not too good these days, but I am not too up on computers anyway.

I have recently used c-cleaner and it did the usual of clearing out temporary internet files etc, but unlike the last time I used it, when I started re-typing and using favourites to re-populate my address bar entries on internet explorer, it won"t retain these addresses on the drop down box anymore. Can somebody help with this?
