Clear Unwanted Entries from the Start Menu's Run Command
Whenever you use the Start Menu's Run command to launch
a program, that program is added to a history. Since this
is a possible cause to an irritating problem, a solution
is provided here for clearing this history:
Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\
CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ RunMRU\.
Delete all of the values in this key (everything in the
right pane, except for (Default)).
Close the Registry Editor when finished. You'll probably
have to refresh the Desktop or restart Windows for
this change to take effect.
I had already checked that location and found it to be
empty, except for "default". What I'm trying to get rid
of are numerous website URLs that are listed there. I
have cleared the temp internet directories and history,
but the URLs don't go away from the "run command"
history. These URLs are sites that I visited, but I did
not navigate there from the "run command" window.
