Start Run history

[Mrich]

How do I clear my Start, Run history ?
Also, how can I only have it appear for one specific user only on a local
computer.
Many thanks again.

To clear run history,

Open Registry editor and find this key;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

All the typed run commands are stored there.

Hope this Helps

It helped tremendously. Thanks for the quick reply.
Is there any way to have the run command for only one user appear on the
start menu ?

You can download and install Tweak UI.
After that run Tweak UI,highlight Explorer and check the box against Clear
document history on exit.Click OK/Apply.
This clears the recent documents history,Run menu history as well as typed
URLs.

To turn off the run command the only way I know of is:

Right click Start button and select 'Properties'
Click 'Customize'
And select the Advanced tab and scroll down the list until you find 'Run
command' uncheck this item.
Click OK
And OK again.

You will have to log on to each user and make the changes.

Hope this Helps

Simon.
