Where is autocomplete info?

[fredley]

Where does Windows XP store the autocomplete info that pops up in the IE address bar as you start typing? Through searching, I've found how to delete this info, but I want to find out how and when certain "objectionable" addresses made their way into my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. That's where I can clear the history or set preferences, but where can I actually look at the info that autocomplete is accessing to fill in what you type?

Index.dat
The index.dat files are always LOCKED during a Windows session and can not be deleted manually. Best to buy a program to to this for you. Simply clearing the history etc. does not remove the data from this file.

This program will work for $30. http://www.privacyeraser.com/
