How to remove the history folder path in windows explorer address bar

Ccleaner will clean it up every time you run it. I do not know of a way to completely disable it though.

Thank you a lot, this is what i was after. its registry again.
by the way what is the purpose of below line in the both on and off .reg files:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete]
"AutoSuggest"=-

Or simply untick recent items:
Start > Properties > Start Menu tab: untick "Store and display recently opened items...". Click Apply.

Thanks debugged, this is related to the task bar history and I already un-ticked it


and thank you all who contribute and shared there information with me.

Best Regards

You're most welcome Phenom.

The HKEY_CURRENT_USER entry for this only applies to the user the REG file was merged in.

The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry for this applies to all users on the computer. I added that line to remove that entry since it would override the HCU one. This way each user could specify how they wanted it set. That's all. :)

Great
thanks again Brink.

You're welcome. :)
