How do I remove entries from my run command dropdown
history?

Howto:
1.run some unusual programs.
2.run regedit, search for that program.
3.examine the mru's you find if it's the proper one.

Took me less then 3 minutes to find and write this:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

Keeep in mind that you have to correct the value MRUList if you delete
an entry a..z

to examine your entry try:
reg query HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

Actually, you don't have to correct the MRUlist. It will be corrected
automatically the next time an entry is added. Missing entries don't seem
to be a problem.

I never felt the need for this, but thanks for the hint.
