Clublon Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Can I use Ccleaner to get rid of address bar history or do I have to download other program? If so, how do I do it? Boy, I have some old stuff on that address bar. Neat if I could get rid of it. Using Windows 2000. Thanks! Clublon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted December 30, 2005 Moderators Share Posted December 30, 2005 Make sure you have the circled boxes checked. Then make sure all your browsers are closed and then press run cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clublon Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Thanks! It appears I will also lose all stored passwords. It is worth it if I can get rid of address history. Clublon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokoike Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 If you don't want to lose your passwords, just uncheck Autocomplete Form History. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clublon Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 I tried this and it did not work. Got rid of passwords. Autocomplete Form History was the only box I did not previously checked. So I thought it would take care of it. Any other ideas? Thanks! Clublon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokoike Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hmm... not sure. Try clicking the Cleaner button and unchecking the Saved Form Information box under Applications. This might solve your problem. You are probably already aware of this, but now that you've disabled password removal, that does not mean that your previously saved passwords will be restored. They were deleted, so the only way to get back your autocompleting forms is to go back to all of the places where you sign in and manually fill them in again. Doing this will add them to your autocomplete list again. Also, if you are using Firefox 1.5 (and hopefully you are), make sure that it is set to not remove this information. Perhaps it is your browser that is deleting your passwords. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding!

Nazz Nomad Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've used CCleaner for over a year now, on multiple machines, and I've always had this problem. CCleaner never removes the typed in URL's from the Address Bar in the Windows taskbar. I have, and have always had, the "Recently Typed URLs" box checked, but it has never ever worked for me. If there was one gripe I had about this otherwise insanely awesome program, it would be that. I can't believe it's just me that's been having this problem all these months...
