Automatically Clearing Win 7 Run History

I haven’t had any luck figuring out how to get Windows 7 to automatically clear the run history. If you want to do a one-off clearing, you can just change the value of MRUList and set it to an empty string, which is located in

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

So I made a quick and dirty little program that automatically clears that for you. Just create a shortcut to it in your Startup folder and when you log on, your run history will be magically cleared. Note: I have only tested this on Win7 x64 Ultimate RTM but it should work on other flavors of Win7.

You can grab it from my site here.
