deleting previous command prompt entries in run

I found the registry through typing "regedt32" in the "Run" box, then located
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU
but could not find the listed entries that are in my "Run" box. Do not see
the same URL's in a string that I can delete. Is there some step I am
missing?

Hi,

You are seeing the effects of autocomplete. That you can disable on the
content tab of Internet Options in the control panel.
