If you want to clear manually, that depends on the start menu.
Classic start menu: Right click the Start button > Properties > Customize
button > Clear button.

Otherwise: Right click the Start button > Properties > Customize
button > Advanced tab > Clear button.

If you want to automate that process, use "TweakUI" (WinXP Home) or
the Group policy editor (WinXP Pro).

The entries are stored in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

There is no need to tamper the registry as long as there are settings
available via the GUI.

Of course using the GUI is usually preferable, but in this case the GUI
method will clear more than just the Run Dialog. I only mentioned the reg
location in case those additional side effects might not be desirable.
