I was searching for some files on my hard drive- now when
I type the first letter it brings a list of seaches I
have done that start with that letter. I don't want to
ruin a suprize- thanks

Hi Scott,

A small utility I created that clears certain History Lists

Clear Recent File Lists - Includes Search and Run Menu (Line 41)

Manual Edit:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru

To prevent keeping a history altogether, right click ACMru/Permissions/Deny
all users and groups listed.
