Clearing URLs in IE

the problem may be simple.... but i have certain restrictions!!

Well i would like to clear the URLs that come up when I type the URL or view
the drop down list in the IE.
The problem that I face is that my clear history and days to keep pages in
history are disabled by or administrator.
I can delete cookies and delete the temporary internet files. However, I
cannot clear the list of URLs that I visited.
The security level is also disabled.

Is there a file or any other way that helps me in clearing the visited links?

Thanking you

I guess it depends what other restrictions you have.

To remove just the Address box, you need to clear the Registry
entries.
Make a file in Notepad out of the lines below the dashed line and call
it Nomru.reg (or similar, as long as it has .reg extension)
Copy, the lines, do not retype in case of error.
Ensure that REGEDIT4 is the first line and your mail/newsreader does
not add a space to the end of any line.
Doubleclick it to clear the Address box. (Typed Urls)

If you don't want to do this all the time, you can avoid the TypedUrls
being created by using File-Open instead of entering them in the
address box.

---------------nomru.reg below--------
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs]
"url1"=""
"url2"=""
"url3"=""
"url4"=""
"url5"=""
"url6"=""
"url7"=""
"url8"=""
"url9"=""
"url10"=""
"url11"=""
"url12"=""
"url13"=""
"url14"=""
"url15"=""
"url16"=""
"url17"=""
"url18"=""
"url19"=""
"url20"=""
"url21"=""
"url22"=""
"url23"=""
"url24"=""
"url25"=""

-----end file above here

Another option is this .VBS script
ClearTypedURL.vbs
Selectively clears individual items from the history for URLs typed
into IE.

Your ability to do certain functions would be restricted based on what
privileges you have on the computer, i.e. an Administrator vs. a regular
user.

You can try TweakUI utility from Microsoft that will let you clear various
histories without messing directly with the registry.
