Hi Neil
The list is controlled by Internet Explorer. So, in Internet Explorer, Tools Internet Options. On the General tab, click "Clear History". Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Hi Evanbee,
Shortcuts that appear in 'Browsed Pages' can come from your Recent Explorer drive\Documents and Settings\[your UserID]\Recent and your Internet Explorer History drive\Documents and Settings\[your UserID]\Local Settings\History folders ======= "evanbee" wrote in message ...

Hi Evan,
Those are generally the two locations although you may also have some under the 'all users' folders. Try using Start=Search to look for one of the 'mystery' shortcuts and see if it is a .url or .lnk file on the hard drive. ======== "evanbee" wrote in message news sorrry...the phantom browsed pages still showing up....however when i create a new user....go to hyperlink in word or excel...those phantom browsed pages are gone....nothing seems to get rid of them in the original user...should i delete the user all together...and start a new user?? what are the pros and cons of doing that...and what will i use... ?? -- Let us know if this helped you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* For Everyday MS Office tips to "use right away" - http://microsoft.com/events/series/a...andtricks.mspx |

This thread is quite frustrating. The question is simple and straightforward:
How does one delete the history of browsed web pages that appears when one uses the hyperlink utility in word? None of the answers provided so far are even remotely helpful. There has to be an obvious and simple way to delete these pages. I hope that MS tech support can address this question directly. And when you do, please re-read the question carefully and provide an answer that is on-point. That would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Removing or deleting hyperlink recent files.
I tried everything to delete those browsed internet pages, and found a user
in Google groups who recommended downloading a shareware product called PurgeIE (www.purgeie.com). You can download a trial version and once downloaded you can click on "protect" to delete cookies, cache and visited sites. When you restart MS Word, and go to "insert hyperlink" you will see that the browsed pages are gone!!! This URL has information on what may cause this problem: http://www.purgeie. com/indexdat.htm |
