In respect to Ayush, doesn’t ‘Start Menu Properties > Start Menu– Customize.. > Advanced > Clear List’ do the same thing? If not, how is it different?

(NOVICE here ok)…From Start of my XP, go to RUN, and I’ve cleared both Temp and Temp% on occassion. There was a 3rd clear option on the RUN but I forgot what it is. It was something like “perfech, prefech, purtech”…Does anyone know what it is please? Help!

However the regedit was the one which worked for me(ie., clear the list in the Run Menu).
The GUI method only cleared the recent documents list. (windows XP SP2)

If a clear the run box using regedit, the current items in the dropdown list will be deleted. Also new items will never be saved. How can I enable the run box to save the newly typed commands?

Run Menu clean out instructions are very much appreciated. I’ll also add the same steps also work fine in Windows 98 2nd edition. I learned this one about 5 yrs ago from the Jeff Levi radio show. I printed it and thught it was put away in my puter reference storage box. It was not there. So lucky and very pleased to find it here.

Sincerely (mean it) literally) Thankyou
