Windows Command Line Tips

We can clear the cache of URLs stored in the address bar of Internet Explorer(IE) from command prompt too.

This can be done by editing the values under the regtistry key TypedURLS which stores the list of URLs. This registry key editing can be done from command line using the command Reg

So to cleanup the URL cache, we need to run the below command.

reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs" /va /f 

Note that this only clears the URL cache showin in the address bar. It does not remove the histroy of all the previous URLs visited.
