exactly how to you "navigate" to the following key?

RE: "exactly how to you"

When you open regedit, on the left side there is a collum with a bunch of folders. HKEY_CURRENT_USER is usualy already open... so you just have to go in Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs and delete what you don't want ^_^

P.S. Not sure if Vista is the same.
