Windows 8 Browser Query
3 Answers
Is there a way to clear selective titles in the browser list. I know how to clear the History in total but wish to clear items I've typed incorrectly or with typos of some sort. Thanks in advance

You can use any browser and I can think of no reason whatsoever why anyone would want to use the dire Internet Explorer that comes with it. (Firefox is a zillion times better, as is Chrome).
However I assume that you're using Internet Explorer 11 which is actually two separate programs in Windows 8 (but, fortunately here, they share the same history files).
You can't access the detail of Internet Explorer's history from the app version. You need to launch the desktop version. Press Alt+C to open the 'Favorites and History' menu. Click on the 'History' tab. From there, you should be able to delete individual items via right-clicking on them.
However one of the (many) faults of Windows 8.1 is that it doesn't allow you to open the desktop version of IE11 (unless there's now a patch that I don't know about). So if you've got Windows 8.1, rather than just Windows 8, you might still have problems.
