Removing entries from the "Look at these file types" list in VS "Find in Files" dialog

Occasionally when I'm using the "Find in Files" dialog in VS I inadvertantly enter the wrong thing in the "Look at these file types" combo. The result is I have some debris in that dropdown I would like to get rid of.

Anyone know how?

You have to update the registry key when VS is completely closed:
