How to delete history in Start Run?

How can I delete the history of previous commands in the drop-down
menu for Start Run?

I think there is an alternative to editing the Registry and deleting
the keys in the RunMRU folder. But I forget what that is.

I tried highlighting the item in the drop-down menu and pressing
Delete, to no avail.

Right click Properties Start Menu Customize Advanced Clear List

The text next to the button says it will clear most recently opened
documents, but it also clears entries in the run box.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

Do not delete "Default", all else is ok and the list will rebuild as you use
Start Run.

Download and run the Cleaner feature of Crap Cleaner. It's free, quite
good, and available at http://www.ccleaner.com/
