Hi Guru's

This question is not on C# or programming but i need to ask can we remove the history list of Run menu from the Start button of Windows Desktop.

Coz whenever we execute anything from Run command it stores the list in history.
i need to delete that history.
is it possible.


tnx in advance

Delete the entries from:

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

However, there might be another entry. On my PC the same list was saved in

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1177238915-854245398-1060284298-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

Try and see if it works.

Can you tell exactly what you did? because I did not test it; it was just a suggestion, and it may come a time when I'll need this. ;)

Removing entries from

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

was enough?
