Open "%windir%\System32\browselc.dll" in resource hacker and goto:

String Table -> 807 -> 1033

In right-side pane, remove "Address" in 12896 entry (don't remove the quotes, only the text).

@samystic
Actually I hv also removed the "Address" text from the file, thats why I can't tell the exact location of the text. But the file is correct and the text will be present in one of following sections:

String Table -> 790 -> 1033
String Table -> 791 -> 1033
String Table -> 792 -> 1033

^^ Buddy I don't know why its not working for u coz the same hack I did in my XP.
But now I'm on Vista and don't hv XP in my system, so can't help much. :(

U can search for the text "Address" or "A&ddress" (put & before the character which has the underline under it) in the file within resource hacker and u'll find it, then just delete it and save the file. Thats what I can suggest. ;)
