| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Address bar drop down menu in IE8 Hi Brummy, The scroll bar is missing since the list does not go past the AutoComplete drop down menu. I'm not sure you can change that though. By default, these older entries will be automatically removed as newer ones are added when it reaches the limit of items it can have it the list. I believe it's 25. You can clear this list in Internet Options, Content tab, AutoComplete Settings, Delete AutoComplete history, OK, and OK. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit, Windows7x32bit | Re: Address bar drop down menu in IE8 Thanks Shawn, I have cleared the drop down menu and tried to open up few pages, they all open up in new tabs and my drop down menu doesn't show at all. Except for this minor annoyance IE8 works flawlessly. |

| Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit, Windows7x32bit | Re: Address bar drop down menu in IE8 Hi Shawn, IE8 dropdown menu is thoughtfully designed IMHO, dropdown menu shows 12 web sites and the older ones are grouped(Extendable) in to History and Favourites. When I extend either of them the scroll bar appears. |
