How to delete run command url's..?

[Frank]

When I bring up the run command and start to type in a url I see a list
of other previous url's comes up. Where are these stored and how do I
delete them?
THX.

Nah...that's not it. That's recent documents. I want url's that have
been entered into the start/run command. How do you delete them and
where are they stored.
Thanks.

Clear your History in the Internet Options. The URLs in the Run Command come
from your last visited site or your URL History.

Yeah that's what I have always done but recently two url's always
remain. Even though in history nothing appears.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

The information comes from two separate areas:

1. RunMRU entry in the registry. This can be cleared by editing the
registry, or by clearing the Recent documents list in the Start Menu and
Taskbar Properties.

Display, Use, and Clear "My Recent Documents" on the Start Menu in Windows
XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307875

2. The entries that appear when you type something (but not normally
displayed when you click the drop-down), comes from the Index.dat (Internet
Explorer's) file. Clearing the Index.dat should help.

See MVP Mike Burgess' page: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

-or-

Uncheck Use Autocomplete for "Web addresses" in IE Options Content tab
(AutoComplete settings dialog). FYI, unchecking this option, disables the
CTRL + ENTER (autosuggest) functionality in Intenret Explorer.
