When using the Submit option and you enter an URL (email address).

My question is how do you clear or remove unwanted email addresses that someone may use to test this option out?

For those who see this, I put the question to Adobe tech support and here is the answer.

Question

When using the Submit option and you enter an URL (email address)(mailto:).

My question is how do you clear or remove unwanted email addresses that someone may use to test this option out?


Acrobat 9 Standard
Operating System: Windows XP Professional

Answer

The history of previous entries is stored in the registry of the
computer. Close out of Acrobat first. Click on Start > Run and type in
Regedit. When you click Ok, the system registry editor will open.

Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\OpenURL and delete the OpenURL key.

When you next start Acrobat, the URL history will be blank.

I also pointed out that this action needs to be known because what happens when you change ISPs and your email changes. That is if you do not have your own domain and permanent email address.

Tested this out and so far it works. Be sure to backup your registry just in case.
