How do I clean out my Outlook 2003 folder history list?

In Outlook 2003, when I click "Add New Shortcut", I get the "Add to
Navigation Pane" dialog box. In this dialog, there is a droplist containing
my folder history list. How do I clean this out completely?
 
Thanks for the pointer, but it didn't work. I think that the MRU is
different that the Folder History List. I could try deleting other registry
keys (beyond what they listed), but I'm not feeling that brave.
 
Well, you could compare registry entries before and after changing the folder history to determine exactly which registry entry holds it.

That's a good idea. I tried that, and it seems that none of the paths given
by slipstick had the registry key, so it inspired me to look around those
areas. I finally found the key (and deleted it, which worked) in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/11.0/Outlook/Office Explorer

....and the key was named 'Namespaces'
