Clearing Run Table
Hi,
When I go to Start/Run and start to type in something, a list of previous listings come up. In Win 98 I knew how to clear this. My question is how do you clear this in WIN XP Pro? Appreciate the help. Dan (Still going in circles) |

Clearing Run Table
Hi Dan,
The information comes from two separate areas: 1. RunMRU entry in the registry. This can be cleared by editing the registry, or by clearing the Recent documents list in the Start Menu and Taskbar Properties. Display, Use, and Clear "My Recent Documents" on the Start Menu in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307875 2. The entries that appear when you type something (but not normally displayed when you click the drop-down), comes from the Index.dat (Internet Explorer's) file. Clearing the Index.dat should help. See Mike Burgess' page: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm -or- Uncheck Use Autocomplete for "Web addresses" in IE Options Content tab (AutoComplete settings dialog). FYI, unchecking this option, disables the CTRL + ENTER (autosuggest) functionality in Intenret Explorer. -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User http://windowsxp.mvps.org "skip" wrote in message ...
