Question about 'Clear Unwanted Entries from the Start Menu's Run Command'

I have a question about Clear Unwanted Entries from the Start Menu's Run Command:

This was helpful, but how can you avoid having Microsoft IE (Win2000, IE 5.5) place URLs and "mailto:" commands into the run history in the first place? For example, in Win98 I used to type "ma[down arrow]" and get "matlab.exe" (since I previously ran it), but now I get "mailto:blah@blah.com", because MS-IE seems to have placed this in the history when I clicked an email on a website. MS-IE does the same for URLs. Since I never typed these commands in the first place, it is annoying to find them in the Run command history... Thanks. bb
