    How to clean out list of proposed shortcuts

     
    I realized every time I click on create shortcut, that add is stored until it's actually made a shortcut. This list is long because I kept trying to create short cuts by r clicking on a web site. How can I delete all these?
    Thanks, Nica

    I don't see any sort of list when I right click to create a shortcut??

    FYI-> You can click the Address Line and drag the URL off to your desktop to create a shortcut.

    In my previous attempts to create shortcuts, "MY" proposed desktop shortcuts list grew....in "create a shortcut" file, or is it a temp file. The window that pops up and asks for the location to be added. When I start to add the address, a huge list appears in an auto drop down box, ( kinda like when signing in to this forum, a drop down gives choices of sign in names). I've tried to delete individually but no luck.

    No sweat.

    Don't worry about the thread title. It's not a long thread.
