[Ham-Computers] IE 8 Question

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Group,

Recently, spurred on by various circumstances I won't list, I updated the 
remaining two of our three machines to XP.  During the updating period 
immediately afterwards, IE ended up as IE 8.  The third machine (a laptop) had had 
IE 8 for a while but I hadn't done much with it as until some of the 
"circumstances", it didn't get used much here at the house.

After all three machines had sorta settled down I went through IE on each 
and turned off a bunch of fluff and stuff I have no interest in using, like 
half a dozen different tool bar add-ons and etc.  Basically just trying to 
get it down to a minimalist browser.  After I was finished, I discovered that 
one familar function had disappeared.  The address bar (field where you can 
manually enter a URL if you need to) has a down-arrow button on the right 
end.  Since as far back as I can remember with IE, clicking this down-arrow 
dropped down a list of the last several URL's that were entered.  This no 
longer happens.  Does anyone have any idea what I might have turned off that 
inhibited this feature?
