  i noticed other than the history column and the address bar stores the websites you entered and visited, the run command box also stores it.

  any way to clear it in the run command box?

  Ya, delete from registry. Or u go find a program that can do it for u like AdAware.

  The registry key below:

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

  i tried that before. didn't work. it removes the commands you ran but if you put in 'a', it will list in a drop down box with all the websites starting with 'a'.

  i tried clearing the history LIST in IE and it disappears from the run command box.

  but when i deleted a specific URL and its links, i can still see it as mentioned in my first post.

  i think you are spot on. i tried it on XP, it worked fine meaning when i delete the specific URL and links from IE (not clearing the list), it doesn't reappear on the run command box.

  currently the problem i'm facing is on a vista system. 

  anyone any idea?

  Not really sure with Vista. Haven't had much experience with one.

  You can use CCleaner or MRU Blaster.
