I dont know of a way to clear it via the registry but I know that in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU
everything typed into the Run box is stored there. Removing all those items will not clear out the run box though. You may be stuck using the Windows way. James Collins

How about clearing the run box but you do it through group policy? I did it once but I can't find the place to clear the run box in the policy.

Any ideas?
