Answer 1

dud the maintenance add on link you noted - sorry to say problem is the same - when trying to delete an item in the drop down list, i put it in the address line then right click and click delete - it clears from address line but it does not clear from the drop down list ---- please define in detail how to get item cleared from address line to also clear from dropdown list - thank you for your patience - I would simply like to clean up and unclutter the dropdown list without deleting entire history ---thank you
