Clear find history in Visual Studio 2008

I'm really sorry if this question has been asked and it is pretty pedantic but is there a way to clear the find and replace history in visual studio 2008?

Or just in case you are using The C# Express Edition, you could clear them by deleting the FindX (Find0, Find1, Find2, and so on) key(s) under the folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VCSExpress\9.0\Find

I know you could clear it by deleting the FindX key in the register at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Find (Restart of Visual Studio needed).

  • Start > Run > Regedit

  • Browse to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Version No\Find

  • Delete the find and replace keywords

  • Restart Visual Studio

Its a bit of a hack but its tried and tested and I dont believe there are alternatives.

Also should mention the entries to delete look like this:

  • Find
  • Find0
  • Find1
  • Find2

etc...
