Hello all
I don't know if this is the right forum but i would like to know how to
completely eliminate the run menu history. thank you. james walsh
 
The history of most recently used commands from the Run command on the Start
menu are stored in the following registry location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
Explorer \ RunMRU

The RunMRU entries can be erased by by clearing the Recent documents list in
the Start Menu and Taskbar Properties. See this KB for more information:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307875

To remove these RunMRU entries _selectively_, open Regedit.exe and navigate
to the above location. Highlight and delete the entries in the right-pane.

The web addresses that appear when you type something in the RUN box (but
not normally displayed when you click the drop-down), comes from the
Index.dat file that belongs to Internet Explorer. Using the Clear History
button in Internet Options General tab will help. If not, you may try
completely deleting the index.dat using the methods described here:
