Clear Start menu run history (Windows Explorer UserAssist Data)
Every time you run a program from the Start Menu, the date and number of times you used it is stored in an encrypted database. Windows keeps full run history under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist. If you don't clear the Start menu open programs history, it can compromise your privacy and security and increase the number of entries in the registry slowing Windows down.
Using Clear All History you can easily clear the Start Menu open programs history (Windows Explorer UserAssist Data).
