This does not refer to the History drop down by the View an Bookmark area. This annoying drop down appears whenever you start to type in a web site you want to go to. It drops down a list of sites you've visited or possibly a bookmark list. Some of the sites are marked with a little gold star. How do I stop this from dropping down.

Thank You
