I want to know if there is a way to selectively delete items from the
internet explorer history list. In other words, how can I delete only one
item from the history list instead of deleteing the entire list at once.

Hi,
Open the History pane/Explorer Bar (Favorites Center in IE7) Right-click an
item> Delete.

If you're asking about the TypedURLs list (down arrow on the right end of
the Address Bar) the easiest, safest way is with
EditURLs from http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/index.htm

Hope this helps,

Thanks Don Varnau. This answered my question and it works. This now brings
up another question: how do I delete items (urls, history, etc.) from the
"run" command list ("start>run>open") - is there a way to selectively delete
items from it vs. deleteing all items? I know you can delete all items using
the "tools>delete history or internet options" within IE.

Yes, you can Delete selectively the MRU (Most Recently Used) List for the
Run Command.

Open the run command and type in:
regedit click [OK] then locate this Key (you may expand the Hives to to
get to the sub-key and will look like this:
[-] HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\
Explorer\ RunMRU = Look in the Right pane/window and you will see all the
commands been typed in the Run and you can select whichever command(s) to
delete, then close the Registry Editor and Hit F5 or open the run and see if
the commands gone which been removed.
Note: there is a difference between the IE History and the MRU History.
HTH.
