IE8 Address Bar and "Delete"

I agree with Steve. I can't tell you how many times I've accidently clicked

that red 'x'! I work in a development environment where I utilize a

particular address many times over the course of a day but don't need it long

enough to throw into my favorites. Sure enough, as I'm cruising along doing

my work I'll click the down arrow, click the url I need and next thing I know

my url is deleted. Ugh! Please change this.

I like both ideas of the red 'x' to the far left of the dropdown as well as

a context menu delete choice. Anything but where one clicks 90% of the time

to choose the url from the drop down list.
