The easiest way to clear the Start / Search / For Files or Folders history is to run the following .reg file:
REGEDIT4[-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerExplorer Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}FilesNamedMRU]
If you wish to clear the Containing text history also:
REGEDIT4[-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerExplorer Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}ContainingTextMRU][-HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerExplorer Bars\{C4EE31F3-4768-11D2-BE5C-00A0C9A83DA1}FilesNamedMRU]
You could run a logoff script:
regedit /s filename.reg
