Well... if anyone has any more ideas, feel free to post. It's

recording almost no URL's at this point, so I may just resign myself

to that and manually edit to add the few I'd like to see in there...

then delete out the few that creep in that I don't need.



Perhaps if there was a utility for this, it would be a "feature".

Have you tried using ProcMon yet to find out how TypedURLs is being used on

your OS?

TweakUI but I don't think it is available for Vista. I could only find

something for tablets. Oh. I have a tablet now. W7.

Let's see what happens then...



Oh, yes. Origami Experience Pack. WTH is that?

(Microsoft Search for

TweakUI Vista

)





Wow! Sudoku on a touch screen! Woohoo! I hope it works.



Boo!





Origami Experience runs only on Ultra Mobile PCs running Windows Vista

Hi,

Have you tried turning off (Internet Options> Content> AutoComplete)

Browsing history, Favorites and Windows Search? Leave

Address Bar AutoComplete enabled. See if turning off the new Smart Address

Bar features helps.



You should then have the classic TypedURLs list on the Address Bar dropdown-

25 entries- only URLs you've typed or pasted into the Address Bar.

From Internet Options> Content> AutoComplete> Settings, leave AutoComplete

enabled for the Address Bar but uncheck Browsing history, Favorites and

Windows Search.

OH...OK, already did that. It's still oddly selective as to what it

records.
