Recently opened urls still appears at Run...

A

Andy Wu

Eventhough I clicked "Clear History" many times in Internet Options Control
Panel, some of the urls I've opened still appear in the Run.... dialog box
Also have deleted the cookies, temporary internet files, cleared forms and
passwords in autocomplete setting won't get rid the problem.
Also tried to find them in registry but no luck at all.
Anybody can help me, please?

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

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.

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.
