Default Word docs saved on desktop showing up in IE6 drop down address

Sorry, I don't know the answers to your questions. You may get a better
qualified answer from the Windows.IE newsgroup.

Terry, it sounds like the following link describes the problem but I don't
understand how to fix it. Article ID : 897169 I am riunning IE 6, would
installing IE 7 take care of the problem? Or how about using the restore
feature?

That would be the problem. This is strange because My Documents is a
Windows
Folder and is hard programmed so that it cannot be deleted or moved. My
Documents should be the user profile under Documents and Settings,
Username.
Check to see if you can find the real My Documents and then copy the
contents from the one in the History Folder to the correct one. If that
now
looks correct, delete the My Documents Folder from the IE folder.

Terry, I may be wrong about not storing my docs in the History folder.
When I
open history I find a folder named My Computer and those docs are in
this
folder. I bet that is the problem. If so how do I fix it?

Sorry about missing this before my last post.

Presuming that you are not saving your documents and spreadsheets in
the
IE
History folder, my guess is that you are using some third party
utility
that
is screwing around with your system. Do you have one of these Tweak
utilities for clearing histories or maybe a file cleaner like CClean?
