So it's still there in Vista? Pardon for referring to it as LRU. That's
from the replacement perspective. MRU is from the (more common) access
perspective. Same idea, ordering the elements of a collection by frequency
of use.

Well... if anyone has any more ideas, feel free to post. It's
recording almost no URL's at this point, so I may just resign myself
to that and manually edit to add the few I'd like to see in there...
then delete out the few that creep in that I don't need.

Perhaps if there was a utility for this, it would be a "feature".

Have you tried using ProcMon yet to find out how TypedURLs is being used on
your OS?

TweakUI but I don't think it is available for Vista. I could only find
something for tablets. Oh. I have a tablet now. W7.
Let's see what happens then...

Oh, yes. Origami Experience Pack. WTH is that?

(Microsoft Search for
TweakUI Vista
)


Wow! Sudoku on a touch screen! Woohoo! I hope it works.

Boo!

Hi,
Have you tried turning off (Internet Options> Content> AutoComplete)
Browsing history, Favorites and Windows Search? Leave
Address Bar AutoComplete enabled. See if turning off the new Smart Address
Bar features helps.

You should then have the classic TypedURLs list on the Address Bar dropdown-
25 entries- only URLs you've typed or pasted into the Address Bar.

From Internet Options> Content> AutoComplete> Settings, leave AutoComplete
enabled for the Address Bar but uncheck Browsing history, Favorites and
Windows Search.

OH...OK, already did that. It's still oddly selective as to what it
records.
