I cannot fugure out how URLs do get in that list which drops down when I
click on thjat little triangle on the right-side of the address line. Some
are sitting there persistenty though I visited them onece time ago. The
other do not show up there at all.

How do I edit this list?
 
They get there because you typed them in.
They should clear if you clear History.

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"=""

"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.

Or, to hide the address box, right click on the toolbar, and un-check
address.
