| How can I view
recent entires in the Run box history? On most operating systems such as Windows XP or Windows Vista you can get to the run box by pressing the WIN KEY and the letter R together. After the run box is open you can press on the small drop down arrow, shown in the screenshot below, to see the run box history. Also when you go to type something into the run box it tries to assist you by showing your recent entries, therefore saving you from typing the entire command. After a while the list can get very long and detailed. To see all of the list simply scroll through using the arrows at the side of the list. |
Why would you want to delete the run box history?
