However, you might find these suggestions annoying. You might also worry that, if someone else uses your computer (without you logging out), they can see this command history. Fortunately, it’s very easy to view the Run Command’s history and delete all or some entries.

  1. Open the Registry Editor. You can get there by hitting Windows + R, typing in “regedit” and hitting Enter.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunMRU. You can get there by opening folders in the left pane.
  3. Select and delete the command entries in the right pane. You can remove them by either hitting the delete key or right-clicking and selecting delete. Do NOT delete the entry named “MRUList” Each command is stored with a letter name (a, b, c).
  4. Close the Registry Editor.
