Drop down URLs ...

Internet Explorer stores these URLs in the registry under the key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\TypedURLs]

You'll find them listed below this key. For example:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\TypedURLs]
"url1"="http://microsoft/"
"url2"="http://cisco/"
"url3"="http://dell/"

You could use your registry editor to export this key, make your changes and deletions, and import them back. Once exported, they're in a text file, giving you the opportunity to edit them or copy them to another program.

I don't know how Netscape does it, but you could try this and see if they're similar. Many years ago, I used Netscape and this stuff was stored in the NETSCAPE.INI file, but we've advanced quite a bit since then and things could've changed. In most cases, Netscape's methods made things easier to manipulate if the user (me) wasn't technically proficient. Hint: Use Find to see if your URLs are stored in a file.

Cheers, PW.

P.S.

I typed these URLs as a test before I entered this post. SI made these links clickable. Neat!

I use Tweak-UI and it removes typed URLS as my system boots, so this list remains small and it'll be cleared on the next boot. I don't know if there's a maximum capacity.
