Can anyone give me that HKEY for the main MRU again? I can't find it in
the registry. I've used find and still don't see it. I also found temporary
internet files and saved URLS. If I delete these keys will that elimenate
any prying eyes out there or here on my end from the sites I've visited?
Plus clear some caches?

There are hundreds of MRUs.

You'd be better off with something like MRU-blaster to get rid of (most of)
them.

The MRU-Blaster database has approx. 30,345 items in it.

That means that there are more than 30,000 possible MRU locations in the
Registry, depending on what 3rd party programs you have installed.

Here are a few listings.

Hi Bill,
Well deleting the Entries in these Keys making sense instead of deleting the
Keys.
If you deleted the keys you will render your Operating system useless and
indeed will be a meal for prying <* _ *> .
Here is the Keys you can delete the entries in the Right Pane/window:

To eliminate the Prying Eye try to follow a security plan by implementing a
Password, high security, permissions, avoid bad sites and doing the usual
scan and cleaning procedure on your system.
Install Anti-virus, install Anti-spyware and a firewall which block
intruders, hackers and viruses.
HTH.
