When using the computer and the internet, everything that is done is recorded. Each page visited, each word or phrase written, is saved in chronologies which can be accessed later to resume an unfinished job.
The data is stored so that you don't have to search for the same things again.
For example, therefore, if you visit a particular website, the URL is saved in the browser history and you can revisit the same page without typing the full address.
In the same way, everything you do on your computer is stored therefore, for example, if you search for a file in Windows Explorer or if you start a program from the Run box or from the Start menu, it is saved in the Windows history and you can access it using the drop-down menu.
This is useful, but if you need to clear all this history from time to time, there are several cleaning programs like Ccleaner .
A simpler and more specialized program to empty and clean up the "most recently used" lists is MRU-Blaster (from the same as Spyware Blaster)
MRU is an abbreviation that stands for " Most Recently Used ".
In addition to eliminating all entries and references to recently used files and programs, MRU-Blaster is also able to clean temporary Internet Explorer files and cookies.
The main interface of the application has a Scan key and a button to change some settings and the categories of items to be included in the scan.
The scan detects all the MRUs in Windows lists and displays the total number of items found.
At the end you can select what to delete from the various categories of lists or clean up everything and delete all traces of what has been done on the PC.
MRU-Blaster works on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
