I am busy downloading some tunes from YouTube.

When I click on the URL of the song to copy it into my downloading software. an index of 'Top Sites' pops up - it looks like the most recent sites I have visited.

It's really irritating to have to keep clicking off it to carry on - is there a way of getting rid of it so it doesn't appear every time I click a URL?

Does it prevent you typing ? Whenever I'm filling in boxes on an Internet website form, and a suggestion list comes up, it doesn't seem to stop me pasting or typing something else instead.

There's some discussion here which might help:

However it's yet another example of Microsoft turning on features in their software by default and then making it ruddy difficult to turn them off. The best rule is to try, wherever possible, simply not to use Microsoft programs at all.
