Clear the run history from a command prompt?

Tzetze · 2005-05-19 11:28:58

I made up a simple batch file to open a hidden shared folder on a server through a winxp client. I want to be able to, in the same batch file, clear the run history after the folder has been opened. There is a button to do this in the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties", but how exactly does this button achieve this?…

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU holds the details of the run history, but deleting any of these entries doesn't seem to clear the run history without a reboot. Yet clearing the history manually through the properties window achieves this without a reboot.

Suggestions, anyone?
