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.
