Autocomplete on Web page forms

I'm running Win98SE with IE5.01.

You know when you start typing something in a form on a web page a list of previous typed entries pops up? Or even if you just click on the empty entry the list pops up?

Is there a way to delete individual entries off of these lists? Or at the least to delete them all? Deleting my 'History' doesn't work. Over many months I have entries that are no longer needed.

I think I read somewhere that these entries are encrypted for security reasons.

TIA
Gary

This list is in the registry. Open regedit, drill to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft//Internet Explorer/TypedURLs. Here is the list.

To delete individual entries highlight them and press Delete button.
