removing favorites and history from URL

I am using IE8, however when i click the URL bar i notice it shows
underneath some addressess a list of favorites and a list of history. Can
someone please tell me how to get rid of these and just have my usual list
of websites i go to, (like it used to be) in other words get rid of the two
sub headings.

Hi,
Go to Internet Options> Content> AutoComplete> Settings. Leave Address Bar
checked. Uncheck browsing history and Favorites.

Hope this helps,

Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
IE 8.0.6001.18865

I did that on my computer but it doesn’t seem to work as expected. It
appears that it simply stops displaying the browsing history. It doesn’t
delete it.

If, after unchecking Browsing History in the AutoComplete Settings box, and
using the Delete AutoComplete History button, you re-check the Browsing
History box, you will see your old AutoComplete History again.
