Hello Vaac,
The list you are speaking of is the most recent URL's.
Here are couple ways you can minipulate this.
Go to your start menu and choose "run". They, type in "cmd" (without
the quotes)and a DOS window will appear. They type in "regedit"
(without the quotes)
and the Registry editor will appear. Go all the way to the bottom and
choose "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" (without the quotes)
Go to: Software, then Microsoft, then Internet Explorer, then TypedURLs
IF YOU'RE NOT SURE ABOUT HOW TO DO THIS...PLEASE DON'T BECAUSE YOU
COULD PREVENT YOUR COMPUTER FROM WORKING. THE REGISTRY IS A DELICATE
THING TO MESS WITH.
You can then choose "export" from the file menu for the registry
editor and a window will pop up. You can then save as a .txt file to
where ever you would like that information.
You can delete items from this list in the regisrty editor, however,
you can also do it a much safer way....
You can go to Internet Explorer, view, explorer bar, and check mark
the history option. This opens the history in a side bar, and you can
remove items from there. THIS IS MUCH SAFER!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO THE REGISTRY UNLESS YOU FEEL
100% SURE. A MESSED UP REGISTRY CAN CAUSE MAJOR COMPUTER PROBLEMS.
If this answer requires further explanation, please request
clarification before rating it, and I'll be happy to look into this
further.

The first metod does not work, at least not in windows 98. Obtaining
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER" gives a screen which has on its right
"ab default and "value not set" only
The 2-nd method works but not the way I would like it. Yes, you can
delete items but you cannot print the list out. Also the list gives
you an impossible to handle long list going back all the way to the
day you installed windows!

Hello again,
When you got to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, did you expand that menu by
clicking on the plus next to it? I double checked, and the method I
gave you works in Windows 98. Please try again and make sure you've
expanded the group. I have the feeling if you try that, you should be
able to navigate through and the 1st method should work. Anytime you
see a small plus next to a menu item, it means that it can be expanded
so you can see the subfolders inside. Let me know how this goes for
you. If you expand them and it works, you can save it as a .txt file
like I mentioned and you should be able to print it out.

Hello again!
Thanks to a very nice Pink lady :) I have something else that may help
you out with your problem.
http://freehost14.websamba.com/nirsoft/utils/iehv.html
"This utility reads all information from the history file on your
computer, and displays the list of all URLs that you have visited in
the last few days. It also allows you to select one or more URL
addresses, and then remove them from the history file or save them
into text, HTML or XML file. In addition, you are allowed to view the
visited URL list of other user profiles on your computer, and even
access the visited URL list on a remote computer, as long as you have
permission to access the history folder."
IEHistory is a program that lets you manipulate the URL's you've
visited. If you're still having trouble, check this out as well! It
sounds like it may help.

I have been struggling with your answers for hours and get nowhere. I
will quit since I have no more time and anyway a long list of all
sites I have used since the beginning will be of very little use. but
I will highly appreciate if you could enlighten me where to find
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs"
suggested by crythias-ga, since HKEY_C.... is not in the C: root
directory. I would also appreciate if you could claify how to proceed
with start, run, cmd (or command) regedit /e :\urls.txt
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\TypedURLs"
I will therefore rate the question after receiving these
clarifications and thank you for all the info which might one day
become useful when I have more ime.

Hello again,
What Cynthias-ga said in her comment, and what I said are the exact
same thing, only I went into more detail for you. Let me try and
simplfy these steps that we both gave you, for you one last time. I
fear though, if this does not make it clear for you on how to do this,
that the only other way I could help you would be to show you one on
one, and that's just not possible. I double checked these steps on a
computer in my home that runs your same operating system (Windows 98)
and I have verified that it works.
I will number the steps for you to make this clearer. Where you see
the words (without quotation marks around it) below a step, it means I
put the item or word you're looking for in quotes to let you know.
Please don't put quotes around anything you type, or expect they will
be there when you're looking for the word. I hope this helps you out.
If not, maybe you could find a friend who could read this list and
help you. Also, the reason you have such a long list of URL's is that
it saves your history of visited URL's for a set amount of time you
determine in a properties menu. If you would like an explanation on
that, feel free to post another question, and one of the researchers,
or myself can help you further.
Don't forget this site as well...
http://freehost14.websamba.com/nirsoft/utils/iehv.html
Which has a prgram that pulls your URL's and let's you save them as a
.txt file as well. This may be a simpler way for you to do this if
you're still having trouble.
Step by Step:
1. Go to your start menu on the bottom left of your screen and click on it.
2. Choose the "run" option
3. In the box that will pop up, type the letters "cmd" and hit ok
(without quotation marks around it)
4. A window should appear with the title "c:windows/system32/cmd.exe".
The first letter may be different depending on the drive you have
windows installed, but, you get the picture.
For example, one of my computers might say
":c:windows/system32/cmd.exe",
and another might say....
"d:windows/system32/cmd.exe".
(without quotation marks around it)
5. Then type in the word "regedit" right where your cursor is located
and hit enter.
(without quotation marks around it)
6. The "Registry Editor" should appear in a new window for you.
(without quotation marks around it)
7. You can find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" by clicking on the things that
look like plus signs next to the options in the bar on the left side
of the window that opened.
Mine is located under "My Computer" when I click the plus sign next to
"My Computer".
(without quotation marks around it)
8. Click on the plus sign next to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" and it will open
up more options.
(without quotation marks around it)
9. Click on the plus sign next to "Software" and it will open up more options.
(without quotation marks around it)
10. Click on the plus sign next to "Microsoft" and it will open up more options.
(without quotation marks around it)
11. Click on the plus sign next to "Internet Explorer" and it will
open up more options.
(without quotation marks around it)
12. Click on the plus sign next to "TypedURL's" and it will open up more options.
13. You should now have the list of URL's in the right side of the
window you've been working in. Now direct your attention to the top of
the window where you see words such as "File, Edit, View, Favorites,
and Help".
(without quotation marks around it)
14. Click on "File".
(without quotation marks around it)
15.In this menu, click on "Export".
(without quotation marks around it)
16. Another window will pop up that looks very similar to the windows
you get when trying to save a new file to your computer.
17. Where it says "Save As Type", choose the "Text Files (*.txt)" option.
(without quotation marks around it)
18. Where it says "File Name" at the bottom middle, type in what you
want to name this list of URL's when you save it.
(without quotation marks around it)
19. Where it says "Save In" at the top, choose the location you would
like to save this list too.
(without quotation marks around it)
20. Hit the "Save" Key.
(without quotation marks around it)
21. You can now close all windows that we've opened, and go to where
you saved the list of URL's to.
22. Open that file, and choose "File", and then "Print". Since I am
assuming you have a printer, this list of URL's you saved should
print.

Hello,
If "cmd" does not work in the beginning, try typing the word "command"
instead. Windows 98 may accept that instead of "cmd".
If you're still having trouble, you may try typing "regedit" in place
of "cmd" or "command", and that may bring up the "Registry Editor"
therefore saving you a few steps.
Just some options for you.

Hello,
Thanks to a wonderful significant other of mine trying to help me
explain this to you, this program he wrote MAY work for you as well. I
have not tested it in Windows 98, but we think it may work if nothing
else does. I can't 100% promise it will though. Give it a try though.
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Copy and paste this URL into Internet Explorer
http://www.pfile.net/google/dumpurls.bat
3. A window will pop up...click "Open".
(without quotation marks around it)
It should do all the steps I have explained to you for you and bring
up your list of URL's into a .txt file for you already so all you have
to do is save it and or print it.
I hope this works in 98 for you. If not, it was worth the try....

Thanks for the detailed instructions. Everything works fine up to
including step 11 exept that I have to type "command" instead of "cmd"
In step 12 there is no"+" sign next to "TypeURLs" which is between
"toolbar" and "URLSearch Hooks". Clicking in the yellow item next to
it gives nothing.

Hello,
Ok, great! When you get to "TypedURLs", just click on that word, there
won't be a plus sign next to it because it's a bottom level folder,
there are no others inside it. Do that and then let me know if you can
get through the rest of the steps.
I probably won't get back to you until tomorow, since I'm now going to
bed.... Also, even if all the steps work, try the program I gave you,
out of curiosity, since I didn't test it on a 98 machine, I'd like to
know if it works for you.

Do not understand your instructions:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Copy and paste this URL into Internet Explorer
http://www.pfile.net/google/dumpurls.bat
3. A window will pop up...click "Open".

Clicking or double clicking on the word"typedURLs does nothing but
convert it to blue.

Hello,
Double click on this address:
http://www.pfile.net/google/dumpurls.bat
A new Internet Explorer window should open, with a small box asking
you a question. In that small box, click the thing that says "open",
without the quotation marks around it.
It should do all the steps I've wrote out for you. I have not tested
it though, like I have said.
If it does work, a document should automatically open with all your
URL's in it that you can save and/or print.
I'm sorry you're having so much trouble with these steps. Like I have
mentioned, at this point, the only way I could explain this clearer
would be to show you, and I can not do that. I wish you the best of
luck, but I think we can not go any further.
