RUN query (XP Home Edition)

CurlyWhirly · 16 Nov 2007 at 23:13

I have a few commands that I want to delete in the Run command shortcut box but I don't want to delete all of them which would happen if I tick the 'Run (in Start Menu)' option in Crap Cleaner and then running it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to delete individual commands and if so could someone share this knowledge with me.

Thanks.

are you familiar with using regedit? you shouldn't really mess with it if you don't know what you're doing.

but if you are familiar, browse to

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

delete the entries from there.

I am familiar with regedit and in any case I make regular backups.

I will try it out.

Thanks for that

try the HKLM

i think you get this if you login as SYSTEM, using minlogon, not 100% sure though
