How do I prevent windows from keeping a history of commands typed in the Run dialog box?
I mean DISABLE not empty. The entries are in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU
Is there a .reg to disable it?
Hi, as a guess, you might try changing the permissions on
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU
A quick internet search (see my signature!) offers this (see second part on permissions)
Tweak the History in the Run Dialog Box in Windows
I saw that.
Somehow in Windows 7 I managed to make windows not log those entries with some setting/config.
Now in Windows 10 it is logging them on that MRU key.
Isn't there a .reg key or a .vbs/.cmd script to do all that parmission stuff?
I mean, If I have to manually to registry and change that key permission I rather leave it as is.
Here's how to find out what you need (I doubt someone's going to give you that).
1. Get a copy of Regshot (free)
2. Run it, create first capture.
3. Make change as Edwin describes.
4. Create 2nd capture.
5. Compare
The result shows you what's changed.
Therefore you can save the relevant registry key for future use.
I tried it before you post.
Unfortunately the regshot comparison output is huge. I couldn't get the specific key from it.
Event though the difference/time the snapshots is a simple click on the "apply"

I always use procmon.
Seems to be the Start_TrackProgs DWORD at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Off is zero.
