re: Question about 'Clear Unwanted Entries from the Start Menu's Run Command' Friday, September 12, 2008 at 12:25 pm Posted by Ricer46 (22031 messages posted) Did you remove them in two places? Some registry entries are duplicated, remove one and it does nothing. There are shareware programs that will do this for you without going into the registry.

Click Customise and in the next window "Clear". This will remove other things as well, so double check you're happy for them to be gone as well.

I knew there was some way to do that easily. I just never bother with it since, I find the list to be very useful.

I took your advice and it partially worked. I also needed to clear the registry as per Article 05-011. Together, they solved my problem and thank you for your help.
