It is a simple registry edit to stop URL and Command history. go>start\run
and type in regedt32 and hit ok or enter on your keyboard and then navigate
the following route by clicking the + beside the entries in this order.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/RunMRU
and right click on RunMRU and then click permissions and then set to deny in
all cases. If it's a matter of just wanting to delete one entry in the list
then open the list then right click on the entry and delete it.

use the third party freeware software called Cleancache from
www.buttuglysoftware.com Not only will it clear your address bar but it will
also clear temp internet files, cookies, index.dat files and a host of other
files. It is well worth using it. To find out what i think of it either
visit my website www.freelanceit.glowinternet.net Click the Reviews button
and then click the link to cleancache. Alternatively, the author of
cleancache has included a link to the review on his website.
