How to clear the find list using the registry using TweakUI

    
Open the Control Panel, double-click Tweak UI, select the Paranoia tab, select Clear Find Files History At Logon, click Clear Selected Items Now, then click OK.  If you'd prefer, you can remove individual items from the list using the Registry Editor. As always,before working with your registry,  back it up. Copy to another location the  Registry files--System.dat and User.dat, these are hidden files in your Windows folder, if you can not see them change your settings, go to the View menu, folder options, view all files.


Open the Registry Editor by selecting Start, Run, typing REGEDIT and clicking OK. Navigate your way to HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Doc Find Spec MRU. In the right pane, right-click any entry you'd like to remove from the Find dialog box, select Remove, then click Yes to confirm. Close the Registry Editor.
