removing auto completes in google chrome address bar

Hi,
Is there a way to remove certain page addresses from appearing in the drop-down menu below the address bar without deleting or disabling the auto-complete?
Thanks in advance.

I have been unable to reproduce the Shift-Delete solution successfully. My solution is below (as detailed on http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=3d373b8e277649f9 )

I've also been looking for a solution to this, and what worked for me was to clear my entire browsing history using the Clear Browsing Data dialogue:

1) Open the Clear Browsing Data dialogue (Ctrl-Shift-Del or Wrench Menu -> Options -> Under the Hood -> "Clear browsing data..." button).

2) Select the dropdown item: Obliterate the following items from "the beginning of time".

3) Check only the "Clear browsing history" box.

4) Hit the "Clear browsing data" button at the bottom of the dialogue.

Not the ideal solution, if you have a useful history like I did, but it worked.
