How to delete Run history in Windows?

Posted on

Problem :

Whenever I press Win + R , Run dialog box appears so that commands such as temp or %temp% can be typed in. I did this in order to delete temp files, etc.

When I again press Win + R, the old commands used are still listed in the box.

How do I prevent this history from recurring ?

Solution :

You can prevent history from recurring this way :

  1. Open Registry Editor by typing regedit in the Run dialog box
  2. Find this :

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerRunMRU
