  2. Create a text file with the following contents and save it to a file named ClearAddress.inf:
    [Version]
    Signature=$Chicago$
    AdvancedINF=2.5

    [DefaultInstall]
    RequiredEngine=SetupAPI,"Fatal Error - Missing SETUPAPI.DLL"
    DelReg=TypedURLs

    [TypedURLs]

    where installpath is the path in which Internet Explorer is installed, platform is the platform folder (for example, sunos5 or ux10), and inf-file is the path and name of the .inf file.
