How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
I clicked the insert hyperlink button and found some things in browsed pages
that I do not want there. I have tried to clear the history of IE and that didn't get rid of it all. How can I get rid of every browsed page that is under the insert hyperlink button of MS Word 2000? Is there some folder that all of this is stored under that I can goto and delete every page that was visited? I thought it was a stack or queue that was used to keep track of the history but evidently not because it just kept adding pages that I had been to and it didn't get rid of the old ones. Please help me! Sincerely, Frustrated |

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
Do you happen to know which Registry Key it is? If I delete the Value will
it get rid of the currently saved browsed pages?? Thank you, Frustrated "Suzanne S.

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
I was afraid you would ask that! As it happens, I had to look up something
similar for someone else yesterday, so perhaps I can find it without too much searching. The general principle is explained in "How to edit Windows registry to clear the list of most recently used files in Office 2003" at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=826208. The only problem is that I can't find a key that seems to relate specifically to hyperlinks. The most likely, however, is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\Open Find\Microsoft Word\Settings\Open\File Name MRU, which on my system has a value pointing to my Temporary Internet Files folder. -- Suzanne S.

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
What if I uninstalled Office and then reinstalled it, would that reset the
registry vlues back to the default values? If I uninstall Office will it affect the word, powerpoint, etc.. documents that are on the computer or will it leave them alone ( they just won't be able to be opened correct)? I guess what I am asking is, if I reinstall Office, the documents that are left on the machine won't have some copy of the old registry settings will they because they are referenced to the register for the information about the browsed pages.

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not affect the Registry AFAICS. Why not
just try what was suggested in the article? -- Suzanne S.

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
I found out that it doesn't reset the default values for Office by
reinstalling it. I did do like the aritcle suggested but that didn't clear the browsed pages under the insert hyperlink button. When you clear the temporary internet files folder it should clear all of them, right? What if I uninstalled all of the office and then went into the registry and removed all of the registry parts associated with office? I appreciate all of your help in this matter. Thank you, Frustrated |

Before you start hacking the Registry ;-), to verify, you cleared your
Internet History but did you also delete all or your Temporary Internet Files? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
I'm surprised this doesn't work since the article specifically states:
"You can edit a single registry entry to clear the most recently used files list that appears in most Microsoft Office 2003 programs. Many Office 2003 programs maintain a list of the most recently used (MRU) files and display that list on the File menu of the program and in several other locations, including the Open dialog box, the Save As dialog box, and the Insert Hyperlink dialog box." Unfortunately, it doesn't specify which specific key controls the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. -- Suzanne S.

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
I have removed all of the Temporary internet files and anything else that I
could through the tools--internet options button in IE, cleared my history and all that jazz. But alas I am unable to get rid of the browsed history in the insert hypertext button in Microsoft Word. Is there anyway to reset the registry to the initial default settings?

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
The browsed history you are referring to is stored in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs Delete the content of that key. (Delete the key then put it back empty). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org elittle27 wrote: I have removed all of the Temporary internet files and anything else that I could through the tools--internet options button in IE, cleared my history and all that jazz.

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
I just want to make sure that we are talking about the same browsed history,
the one I am referring to is the one in Microsoft Word/insert hyperlink/borwsed pages. For example if I wanted to insert a hyperlink I would click insert hyperlink button on the toolbar in Microsoft Word and I would get this dialog box, there are buttons that say: Current Folder; Browsed Pages; and Recent Files. WHen I click on Browsed Pages I am finding some things in there that I don't want on my computer and I am trying to clear this Browsed Pages. Is this the same one that you are talking about?

How to clear the browsed pages in MS Word 2000
Yes and no.
The Browsed pages window is an amalgamation of entries. Windows stores recent files by application in a variety of places scattered across the registry and the hard drive, which makes it very difficult to eliminate them. The one I quoted provides the entries for the address box below the window in the same dialog. Your best bet is to search for one of the many privacy utilities that remove this type of data from everywhere that it is stored. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org elittle27 wrote: I just want to make sure that we are talking about the same browsed history, the one I am referring to is the one in Microsoft Word/insert hyperlink/borwsed pages.
