Please tell me there's a way

I'm regretting having said "yes" to the "Update your features" pop up thingie.

Now every time I open Safari and I open a new Tab, I get this disgusting page with the list of top sites.

I don't want that. I just want a blank page.

Please tell me there's a way to do that.

On Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard, Safari 4.0.3:

Safari:Preferences:General Tab:"New page opens with": Select 'Empty Page' instead of 'Top Sites'

Same with "New tab open with" just below it, if you so want.

EDIT: On the Windows version, Preferences is found in the drop down menu from the sprocket icon (top right). The keyboard shortcut to reach the Preferences without digging through menus is Ctrl+comma (Command+comma on Mac OS X).

Thank you. Really. You have no idea how much this apparently mundane and insignificant thing means to me
