If you "Clear the contents of the My Recent Documents Folder" by click
the "Clear List" button found on the Advanced tab in the Customize Start
Menu dialog box you will clear the commands from the RunMRU that
you have typed in and that appear in the Run command. For example:
CMD /K net user guest

These RunMRU are stored in the following registry location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

Clicking the "Clear List" button will also delete the Most Recently Used
(MRU) list that appear in the Run command for your
%USERPROFILE%\Recent folder.

For example, "Clear List" will clear the MRU history of entries such as:
file:///A:/MyTextDocument.txt

For more information about clearing My Recent Documents see the
following Microsoft Knowledge Base article section titled "To Clear the
Contents of the My Recent Documents Folder"
