From Internet Explorer Help, I cut and pasted:

To delete Autocomplete entries from the Address bar list
The AutoComplete feature saves previous entries you've made for Web
addresses, forms, and passwords. To delete entries from the Address bar, you
must clear your History folder. You cannot clear individual entries from the
list of saved entries.

On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
Click the General tab.
Under History, click Clear History.

 Notes
When typing information in Web forms, and typing passwords, you can remove an
item from the list of suggestions by clicking the item and then pressing the
DELETE key.
For Help on an item, click "?" at the top of the dialog box, and then click
the item. <A HREF="mk:@MSITStore:c:%5Cwindows%5CHelp%5Ciexplore.chm::/CHM=%20META=web_hist">Related Topics</A>


ALSO, I FOUND THIS:

To adjust AutoComplete settings
You can tailor the AutoComplete feature to save and suggest only the
information you want. You can choose whether to use AutoComplete for Web
addresses, forms, and passwords, or not use it all. And you can clear the
history for any of these.

On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
Click the Content tab.
Under Personal information, click AutoComplete.
Select the check boxes for the AutoComplete options you want to use. <A HREF="mk:@MSITStore:c:%5Cwindows%5CHelp%5Ciexplore.chm::/CHM=%20META=autocomp">Related
