IE has an AutoComplete feature that suggests possible matches for entries you type into such things as address bars or online forms. Once you begin typing in information, AutoComplete gives you suggestions of what you might be typing in. If a suggestion is a match, you can select it and press ENTER. However, at some point you may need to clear out the AutoComplete history.
Clearing your AutoComplete history in IE 7 is slightly different than the process used in IE 6. To complete this task in IE 7, use the steps described below.
- Open your browser.
- From the Tools menu, click Delete Browsing History.
- Click the AutoComplete button.
- Click OK.

Um,
That’s not an option:
” 1. Open your browser.
2. From the Tools menu, click Delete Browsing History.
3. Click the AutoComplete button.
4. Click OK.”

It isn’t actually done that way. You have to select forms or delete history…

Is it possible to selectively clear the autocomplete history?
I have lots of irrelevant entries, but many that ARE good.
I was hoping for similar finctionality to Outlook,. where I can simply select an address in the autocomplete list, then hit the Delete button.
