Ccleaner will clean it up every time you run it. I do not know of a way to completely disable it though.

Thanks, I was trying to find a way to disable it in windows.
I found a way to remove them from registry, this should be much better then a 3rd party software
Windows 7: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TypedPaths (Tested and worked)
Vista:
1- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedPaths
or
2-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedUrls
(Not Tested, cause do not have Vista running)
this way we can remove a particular path history (that is nice)
but I like to find a way to Disable this feature I hope if anybody knows try to share it with me.
Thanks in advance.
Hello Phenom,
You could use the tutorial below to turn off "auto suggest" in Windows Explorer if you like. :)
Windows Explorer Auto Suggest - Turn On or Off
Hope this helps,

see above, my man brink here is the master of tutorials. I'm sure he knows what he's talking about.
Or simply untick recent items:
Start > Properties > Start Menu tab: untick "Store and display recently opened programs...". Click Apply.
Thank you a lot, this is what i was after. its registry again.
by the way what is the purpose of below line in the both on and off .reg files:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete]
"AutoSuggest"=-
Thanks debugged, this is related to the task bar history and I already un-ticked it
and thank you all who contribute and shared there information with me.
Best Regards

You're most welcome Phenom.
The HKEY_CURRENT_USER entry for this only applies to the user the REG file was merged in.
The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE entry for this applies to all users on the computer. I added that line to remove that entry since it would override the HCU one. This way each user could specify how they wanted it set. That's all. :)
