Hey does anybody else have or ever had this problem? When I am finished using my computer I always clear everything. Obviously don't want others seeing the names of files and folders called virgin this or teen that etc. 
I use a good program called window washer to remove all browser and windows history and it never lets me down and I am almost certain it is not at fault.
A couple of days ago I used the run feature in windows xp start menu and to my horror when I hit the f button on my keyboard I got a list of files that are deleted from my comp. D button will bring up files that were on an external hd also.. d drive, same if I hit j it brings up history of files from j drive etc. It's quite a comprehensive list!
It only seems to be happening in the run box and nowhere else such as windows explorer or internet explorer. Sometimes the list will be deleted for a while but then the next day when I start my computer it is back again! Only in the run feature and nowhere else?
Does anyone know how to get rid of this? I have antivirus and firewall software, two spyware programs and none of them show up anything wrong? I've only noticed this happeneing since last Monday.
BTW I know I can hide the run feature in the start menu from others..., but still... Other people use my computer too
If anyone knows specifically about this can they please help.
O.k. I am going to the shop now to get some beers in and when I log back in here in a few minutes I expect an answer!

Thanks for the reply tovefan. 
Yeah I might give that c cleaner prog a go. The thing is I don't really think that ww is at fault. If it is it will be the first time in nearly 6 years! Plus the run dialogue box should clear when you delete internet history files and recent files in windows. I tried this on my work comp and it does but on my home one... nope, same problem links still appear!
I think maybe I have a reg error on my system or possibly worse spyware that I am not picking up when I do a scan.
Thanks for your input and if anyone else knows anything about this please let me know. I will be trying a few things over the next few days. I really hope it is not a virus! I already got that blackbox byte.verify piece of shit a few years ago and had to completely re-format my hard drive to get rid of it.
Ciao...!
