How to delete the remaining 16 items in the run item
history??

Based on feedback from Rick Rogers (many thanks), I have
cleared the RunMRU and TypedURLs. Wes Vogel has also
directed me to load TweakUI to clear the RunMRU upon
logoff.

However, the same 16 items (http://...) always remain in
the run item history, even after clearing the RunMRU and
the Media Player runlist. Please help.
 
Hi,

Have you also tried the "clear history" button on the general tab of
Internet Options in the Control Panel?

Did you reboot?
 
Yes -- Have cleared history using Internet Options in
Control Panel as well as Clear on Start Menu. Per
inquiry from Incognitus, have also rebooted after editing
registry.

These 16 items appear to be "pinned" somehow as
additional items are added to the run list (such as now
when I reply), but only the additional items are deleted
after logoff per TweakUI settings. The original 16 items
always remain....

The reason I asked about rebooting is I often delete some RunMRU keys, I
like to keep 10 or so I often use, and they won't disappear from the run box
until I reboot. You do know that there is more than one RunMRU key don't
you?
You can do a find via regedit for RunMRU, or one of the 16 items and see
what shows up.
