How Delete Individual Entries in the Taskbar's Address Toolbar

I have a bunch of entries that appear in the Address Toolbar that is on my Taskbar. I would like to delete individual entries, but don't want to clear them all. I can only find instructions on clearing search history in File Explorer, which is not what I'm looking for. I have an image of what I'm talking about below.

Is it possible to delete individual entries?
Thank you in advance!

Keith is correct yet again.

That Registry key contains the list of recent paths entered into the File explorer address bar.
That Address bar [Taskbar Toolbar] dropdown list is the list of recent paths entered into the File explorer address bar.

Consider making a new system image before starting.
Or at least export the Registry key in .reg format before starting - Export and Import Registry Keys - TenForumsTutorials
Then you should be able to delete individual lines from that Registry Key - right-click on the icon in the Name column & select Delete.
- You might find that you have to restart the computer before the change takes effect.

Thank you both for your quick replies. I had looked at that registry key before. Many of the items are contained there & I can delete individual ones. However, there must be another location also.

I have an entry starting with:
https: //www. m. me (had to put a space in there to prevent it from being a link)

which takes me to Messenger, but I can't seem to find out where it's stored. It's not in the list of TypedPaths.

Not sure (couldn't get any urls to appear in my Address bar) but see if you find it under:

Code:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

Thanks again. I looked there, but couldn't find the entry. In fact, I searched the entire registry for "http: \\ www. m. me" (without spaces or quotes) & it came up empty. I use Google Chrome & deleted the history for Messenger (which is where that URL takes me), but it's still there. I looked under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome, but couldn't find anything.

Perhaps the Chrome application can take you to its recent urls list somewhere within its options / preferences / ... and perhaps the other entries are there?

Thank you for the suggestion. I searched for & deleted any history related to Messenger, which is where that URL takes me, but the URL is still there in the address bar. Strange.

Another guess

Check:

Code:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

thanks again. I did check, but I don't see any URLs there...just the same list that's in the Run dropdown list. The address book seems to contain items from different sources, so it's hard to find where certain items come from.
