That only clears the text box but when I type m, msconfig still comes up.

You'll need to edit the Registry Mike K...Make sure to back up at least the two Keys you'll be working with below (highlight the Key | File | Export | Save with a *.reg extension).
In order to clear the history of the Run Command...Start | Run | Type Regedit and hit OK | Navigate to the following Key...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Explorer | RunMRU
... and delete the value corresponding to the command you want to remove, or remove all the entries to clear the list completely.
In order to clear the Search History...Navigate to the following Key...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Search Assistant | ACMru
...and delete the Key. To prevent keeping a history altogether, right click ACMru | Permissions | Deny all users and groups listed.
In order to clear the history of the Run Command...Start | Run | Type Regedit and hit OK | Navigate to the following Key...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Explorer | RunMRU
... and delete the value corresponding to the command you want to remove, or remove all the entries to clear the list completely.
