first off...
why have you not upgraded to internet explorer 7? It has improved security and has way better methods of erasing browser data. Anyways, back to your problem: That should do it...., have you restarted the computer and/or browser? You have gone in Internet options and deleted everything there correct? Hmm..interesting....the only thing i can offer is to update and try that. I have never seen Internet explorer remember something after you deleted it...weird..sorry i could not help any further...
PS: Also, this is the support forum for spybot search and destroy. The correct place for this topic would be in the tavern. Thanks!

nitegale, you'll have to clear your cookies and temp. files from your browser. To do this manually, open Internet Explorer>Tools>Internet Options.
FYI, this section of the forum is queries for Spybot-Search&Destroy. You've posted in the wrong place.
Edit: I've re-read it again.
I'm not sure if this is like a similar function to Mozilla Firefox, but say like you have bookmarks and favorites, then it will give the link to you there. Like a bookmark toolbar.

- Navigate to the following registry key:
Code:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs - Delete all the values such as Url1, Url2, Url3, etc. except for the (Default) value.
You also need to turn the option off for IE to remember typed URLs. Go to:
TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS click on the CONTENTS tab. Click on AutoComplete. Uncheck all the boxs you do not want IE to store information that you type in. Click clear passwords if you want, just keep in mind that you can not get those passwords back if you did not write them down.
