doesnt it clear?

With Kind regards

3. Select Classic Start menu and then click Customize
4. Click the clear button
5. IMPORTANT!! CLICK THE CANCEL BUTTON!!!
6. CLICK THE CANCEL BUTTON AGAIN!!!

Hope this helps.

Hi,

This process works and clears them from run also:

Clear IE History, AutoComplete, Clear the TIF, Clear the RunMRU, Typed URL's
and Clear List (depending on which Start Menu you are using): Right click
the Start button/Properties/Customize/Advanced/Recent Documents/Clear List.

Added info:

Typed URL's: Start/Run/Regedit: Open your registry and find the key below
and delete any value you want to remove.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
