How to Tweak the Auto-Suggest Feature in Windows Explorer



The Auto-Suggest feature in Windows Explorer suggests paths that you have previously visited in an auto-complete kind of fashion-while it can be really helpful, it can also be frustrating. Here's two registry hacks to tweak it slightly.


How to Delete Specific Typed Paths From the Auto-Suggest Box


If you manually enter paths into the Windows Explorer address bar, it can become filled with suggestions that were only used once or twice. Heres a quick registry hack to delete the ones that you don’t use often.


Press the Windows Key and R to bring up a run box and type regedit, then hit enter.



When the registry editor opens, navigate to the following path:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TypedPaths



On the right hand side you will see a bunch of “url” string values that have the typed path in the Data column, you can just right click on the string and select delete to stop it from being auto-suggested.



Note: If you delete a common path such as Computer it may still show in auto-suggest.


How to Disable Auto-Suggest


If you don’t want to use the auto-suggest feature you can disable it with the following hack.


Press the Windows Key and R to bring up a run box and type regedit, then hit enter.



When the registry editor opens, navigate to the following path:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer



Expand the Explorer key, then right click on it and create a new key called AutoComplete.



Once the key has been created and you have named it, on the right hand side you will need to create a new string value called AutoSuggest.



Open the string and in the Data Value field type no.
