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

Ok I hope this might just might help someone... Did you try going to control panel, internet options and deleteing all cookies history and temp files... that worked for me let me know if that helps anyone else I felt obligated to do this since I had searched all these querries for four hours and not found the answer..... thanks anyway though everybody....
