If you do not know which version of Netscape Navigator or Communicator you
are running, under the "Help" menu, click on About Communicator, Navigator,
or Netscape (the entry will differ depending on which version you have). The
first line of the resulting screen will tell you the version number.
Operating Systems: Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0
Product version: Navigator 2.0 - 3.04
Only the last 10 URLs you typed into the Location Bar text field will be
listed. Since only the last entries you typed are stored, the easiest method
of clearing unwanted entries is to type a number of URLs to displace those
currently listed.

In order to completely clear all URLs:
The following instructions require editing the Windows Registry. This can
potentially harm the system if the wrong entries are edited or deleted. Make
sure you have current backups of your system before proceeding. Consult
Windows help if needed.
1. Close Navigator.
2. From the Windows Start menu, select Run..., type: regedit.exe (in Windows 95 and 98)
or regedt32.exe (in Windows NT 4.0), and press ENTER.
3. Click the plus sign beside the following: hierarchy:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software - Netscape Navigator
4. Select "URL History" on the left.
5. On the right, clear each entry. In order to do this, double-click in the Name column of a line, then delete whatever appears in the Value data field of the dialog box; click OK to save the changes. Repeat this for each line.
6. Exit the registry editor by clicking Regedit|Exit.

If this does not work, it is possible that the Windows 3.1 version of
Navigator is installed. In that case, try using the Windows 3.1 version of
Navigator instructions to clear the URL history.

Clearing the location bar URL History involves editing a Netscape data file.
Editing this file incorrectly could prevent Communicator from launching or
working properly. Before you edit, make a back up copy of the file.
1. Go, on your hard drive, to your Communicator profile folder. If you have installed in the default location, it is likely located here:
C:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\{Your_Profile_Name}\ .
2. Find the prefs.js file.
3. Copy this file to a safe location on a floppy disk or elsewhere on your hard drive.

After making a copy of the file, you can edit the original:
1. Close Communicator.
2. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad.
If you have not edited your Windows 95 Start menu, you should be able to
open Notepad by clicking on Start|Programs|Accessories|Notepad.
3. In Notepad, click File|Open... and browse to the prefs.js file. Open the prefs.js file.
4. Look for lines which look like this:
user_pref("browser.url_history.URL_4", "http://help.netscape.com/");
user_pref("browser.url_history.URL_5", "developer.netscape.com/");
user_pref("browser.url_history.URL_6", "ftp://ftp.netscape.com/");
5. Delete only the lines which begin with
"user_pref("browser.url_history.URL".
6. When you have successfully deleted these lines, make sure you have left
no spaces between lines, and then save the file by clicking File|Save As.
7. Save as "prefs.js"
Open Communicator and the entries should be gone.
