How to Clear MRU List in XP Home?

[broudie]

When I type into the Address bar or Open dialog box of
Internet Explorer 6 SP1 (using Windows XP Home)
Autocomplete offers suggestions that presumably come from
a Most Recently Used (MRU) list. I've cleared the
History, deleted all Cookies, deleted all Temporary
Internet Files, as well as cleared the Forms and
Passwords in the Autocomplete History, but the
suggestions still appear. I know I can turn off
AutoComplete for Web addresses, but when I turn it back
on, the suggestions are still there.
I want to find where the MRU lists are stored and delete
the entries. I've searched through the registry and
Windows explorer for the culprit words suggested, but
can't find them. My guess is the words are hidden in the
registry in binary code.

I found 2 articles in the knowledge base referring to
this.
322948 - Names of Previously Opened and Saved Files
Appear in Typical Windows Explorer-Style Dialog Boxes in
Windows XP (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;en-us;322948)
142298 - How to Clear the Windows Explorer MRU Lists
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;142298)

The latter article doesn't give info for XP - ugh... the
data in the article, unfortunately, doesn't work in XP.
Does anyone know where the registry keys are for MRU's in
XP? I want to CLEAR the MRU LIST before I turn off the
feature (as described in the former knowledge base
article).
THANKS!!
