Such history lists calls "MRU"
If you search the registry for MRU (Keys) you will find a lot.
The one you search here is called "RunMRU".
You will find it under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\
Microsoft\
Windows\
CurrentVersion\
Explorer\
RunMRU
You will find this two times (well three times with HKLM one too)
One under HKCU (the above)
and one under HKU (HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-123 a-lot-of-numbers-here\)
But the first is only a "run time" copy from the later.
If you modify one of them... the other will modified automatically.
There're tools how can help you cleaning those tracks.
One nice little stand alone tool is e.g. "ClearProg" (multi language)

I've done some small improvements to my office machine's registry
and don't want our IT recognize that I've ever used regedit.
You bad bad boy!
(Tip:
1. Click the Start button.
2. Select "Run..." from the menu.
3. Type
cmd in the window and click OK or press the Enter key.
4. Type
regedit in the new black "command line window" (older name: DOS-Box)
Voila... no more tracks about bad boy in the "run box" ;-)
HTH?
