Vista - How to delete address history in explorer windows?

How to delete address history in explorer windows?

In the address bar in any explorer window, whenever I click on the down arrow, or start typing in a url or file location, a history of all previous locations and urls appears. How do I remove this history? Note that I am not talking about Internet Explorer address history - this is in a folder window.

I've tried using deleting history using internet explorer and a bunch of software available on the internet but the address history stubbornly remains.

Thanks for any help.

Try deleting from:

c:\users\you_username \appdata\local\microsoft\windows\history

Chura

The address bar in Windows Explorer is simply a mirror copy of the address
bar in Internet Explorer. Deleting the history in Internet Explorer should
clear the address bar history in both locations.
