Hi,
I've played with this a bit and I'm not sure where these entries are stored.
Some suggestions:
Try CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ and
MRU-Blaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/mrublaster.html
You might be wanting to clear the RunMRU.
Searching the registry for
ftp://name@yoursite.com may locate this entry.
These may be in a TypedURLs key in the registry. This article explains the
TypedURLs history:
157729 - How to Clear the History Entries in Internet Explorer:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q157729
Removing some or all entries is an easy registry edit.
This URL may be in the index.dat file in the History folder. Login as
another user with administrator privileges, or from the machine's default
administrator account and delete the affected History folder from Windows
Explorer.
You would not be able to delete this History folder when logged in as
yourself- it's "In use." You should be able to delete it from the
Administrator account.
Hope this helps,
Don
