Remove item from address bar at the top

When you type an address in the address bar up top in Vista, it remembers the address for a while. This can be good or bad. Is there a way to remove just one address ?

Send a message via AIM to Panama Red
Click the drop down in the address bar to expose all the sites. Put your mouse cursor over the one you want to get rid of and watch way over to the right. You should see a red X. Click it to delete the address.

Panama Red.....I did that, but I do not see a red X anywhere. I am running Vista w/SP1
and Internet Explorer 7. I did not upgrade to IE8 yet.

If all else fails, and you're comfortable editing the registry, you can find the typed urls at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Typed URLs

You just have to right click and delete the one you don't want in the list on the right. Again, this is ONLY if you know what you're doing in the registry.
