Additional registry key with Start...Run entries

Regarding Clear Unwanted Entries from the Start Menu's Run Command:

Clearing the values in the RunMRU key did not remove everything from the Windows 2000 start menu. I haven't investigated much, but it seems actually that nothing was removed.

I found additional "MRU" entries below the sibling key ComDlg32. What I mean is, subkeys below HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32. Some of the subkeys have REG_SZ values (a fancy name for a ASCII text string) and others have Unicode text stored in REG_BINARY values. To view the REG_BINARY values, just select one and then choose Edit...Modify. You can discern the text by looking through the popup window.
