Removing the "Previously opened tabs" IE8

IE8 on Windows 7RC.
Is there a way of deleting the previously opened tabs from the list on
opeing a new blank tab without deleting all the history as well? I know I
can hide them but I would like to physically remove them from the list.

Thanks

Change your New tab to about:Blank instead of about:Tabs

Thanks.....done!

One other option - keep the New Tab page, but close the previously deleted
tab group (see the little up/down arrow next to "Reopen closed tabs?" If
it's pointing DOWN it means it will display the list of tabs by default, if
it's UP it means it hides the list by default). Your choice will stick,
meaning, you can close the group by default and it will stay closed each
time you open the new tab.

Personally I think the New Tab page is far more useful than about:blank
