Deleting Browser Address Box History

[MaxFX]

As you visit each new Web site, a history of that visit accumulates in the
address box of the IE browser. By clicking on the drop down arrow in the
address box, you can easily access a visited site. Is there a way to delete
just ONE of the visited addresses in the drop down address box area of the
IE Browser versus deleting them all? One of the principals at my school, for
some reason, wants to delete just one of the visited sites in the address
box, but not all of them. Is this possible? If so, how can it be done?

Thanks,
Bill

This isn't really a good question for a newsgroup about authoring HTML.
You'll be more likely to get a response in an IE-related group.

IIRC they are held in the registry somewhere. Do a search for that
address in the registry and delete the relevant key.

Funny, that doesn't happen as *I* visit each new Web site, since I
don't use that crappy pseudo-browser; I use Mozilla.

Easily done in Opera (like lots of other things IE can't do): perhaps
you could suggest he does himself a favour and tries it.
