MORE INFORMATION

To clear the Address box in Internet Explorer:
  1. Quit any running instances of Internet Explorer.
  2. Create a text file with the following contents and save it to a file named ClearAddress.inf:

    [Version]
    Signature=$Chicago$
    AdvancedINF=2.5

    [DefaultInstall]
    RequiredEngine=SetupAPI,"Fatal Error - Missing SETUPAPI.DLL"
    DelReg=TypedURLs

    [TypedURLs]
    HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs"

  3. Use the following command line to clear the Address box

    installpath/progs/platform/startup regsetup -F inf-file DefaultInstall

    where installpath is the path in which Internet Explorer is installed, platform is the platform folder (for example, sunos5 or ux10), and inf-file is the path and name of the .inf file.

    For example, a complete command line might be:

    /usr/local/microsoft/progs/sunos5/startup regsetup -F /home/joeuser/ClearAddress.inf DefaultInstall
