Way to Cut Time from Clear MRU List?

[Chad Harris]

I'm trying to help with a question posed that someone wants to shave a
second or two off the clear MRU list at Rt. Click Start>Properties>Start
Menu>Advanced Clear List. They say it takes 9 seconds; they want two Is
there a reg value to change that would do this or another way?

Anything in a value for this key:

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

Tia,

I use the Classic Start Menu.

Right click the Start button | R + C + C

Practice, you'll get faster. Nine seconds? No way. Three or four seconds
is more like it.

I don't think the problem is getting to the button itself. On many of my
machines, I can click Clear, and the system remains unresponsive (hourglass,
etc) for as long as 30 seconds, even if the MRU menu was practically empty
before trying to clear it.

I'm assuming that's what Chad is complaining about...if so, I'm totally with
him and looking for alternative ways to clear the MRU menu...
