Manual Edit:
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

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

If you prefer not to edit the registry, this utility will do it for you:
Clears Run History, Typed URL's, etc.
