IE and remembering URLs

[Vicki Falkland]

Hi folks,

I searched the archive and came across the following post from Feb 2000:

The response to this was to turn off the AutoComplete function.

However, what I am trying to find out is: 
Is this the same function that remembers what has been typed in the
location bar?
Reason I ask: I can start to type a URL in the location bar, IE remembers
it and completes it. But when I look in c:\windows\history that particular
URL is not actually there (the previous user has removed it ..??).
where does IE keep this information? Is it a file somewhere? Is it
accessible? How does it do this?
(IE5, win98)

thanks,
Vicki
