Somewhere in your email program you will find "Tools" and "Options". If you open this you'll find "Auto complete email addresses when composing" (or something similar). Simply uncheck the box at the side of this.

If you want to clear a single entry from the list click in the text box in question, press the down arrow and it will list the entries stored, use the arrow keys to find and highlight the one you want to remove and press delete (delete, not backspace)

If you want to clear them all you need to clear the search and form history, on most browsers pressing CTRL + Shift + delete will bring up the windows to clear history, select form and search hostory and click ok

Removing these drop down menus items consists of clearing your browsing history, web cookies and cache. Once you do that, the only drop-down menu items that might display in the address bar will be those that correspond to your Bookmark or Favorite links. The specific steps to perform these adjustments will vary depending on your browser, but the general process is the same.

To clean Internet Explorer 8 and above cache, History, Cookies:

1> From the safety menu in the upper right, click Delete Browsing History

2> Deselect Preserve Favorites websites data, and select Temporary Internet files, cookies and history

3> Click Delete

You can also take tool to clean the cache, history, cookies with an easy manner. I high recommend you take C cleaner or Cloud System Booster.
Here you can have a detail view
Hope this can help you. Good luck.

thanks samual... i noticed after clearing it that things were still showing then realised it was my bookmarks! I've set FF not to save history but gave up on chrome so will do it as and when.... i dont use IE but its still useful to know that in case someone uses my lappy and they use it...
