Hi, trivial but annoying problem, running internet explorer on vista, but if I've being accessing files from my C drive for example, they all appear on the explorer address bar drop down rather than just a list of the urls i've typed in.

Hi,

trivial but annoying problem, running internet explorer on vista, but if I've being accessing files from my C drive for example, they all appear on the explorer address bar drop down rather than just a list of the urls i've typed in. I'm used to just clicking on the address bar drop down to go to one of my last 20-odd sites, now they don't appear.

Is this a setting i can turn off somewhere ?

cheers

wow. youre quite right.

probably has to do with IE and Windows Explorer being effectively the same thing: they probably just swap interfaces but are likely the same program files. You'll notice the reverse is true of windows explorer: it stores your webpage history.

unfortunately i wouldnt know how to fix it. i use another browser other than IE so it never became an issue. But you may try searching around microsoft about it.
