How do u clear the Start -> Run (Windows key + R) drop down box?

i cant just restart the machine as its a multi-OS machine that is used for testing so therefore it has designated drives for each OS and not just c:\Winnt\System32.

its winXP also

I find that it always clears it when i clean up IE. Start with a Dsk Cleanup,then go to tools in IE, internet options, clear history, delete cookies, then click on the Content tab, then auto-complete, then clear forms. this should clear the stuff in Run drop-down box.

That's what he was asking? I can't remember if XP is the same (as the only XP machine I have is my home one and I'm at work at the moment), but on Win2k it says "To remove records of recently accessed documents, programs, and web sites, click Clear", and it does exactly that when I click on the Clear button...

the disk clean up or ie clear things listed above did not work

clearing the recent documents (as sam said) also cleared out the Run box!!
