They're Most Recently Used lists. Mostly they are a privacy issue, being
records of the last few files you saved, looked at, opened etc. Yes, they
can be removed safely. But some you may not want to remove. The Streams
MRU's contain your folder view preferences, for example and if you delete
that you'll be back to the defaults after next reboot.
My preference for managing MRUs is MRUBlaster:
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/mrublaster.html from the same much-respected
source as Spywareblaster. Configure it appropriately and use that to delete
MRU lists, then tell Ad-aware to ignore them.
Or, if you have no privacy concerns, don't worry about MRUs anyway.
