Start>Run>History ?

[Lee C.]

I should probably already know this, but if I ever did, then I've =
forgotten it, and haven't had any luck hunting it down (hunting in the =
wrong spots perhaps).

WIN XP Pro (updates up to date). The ''Run'' history, the box into =
which one types apps to be run, clears on every reboot. In WIN 98 and =
2000 I can use TweakUI to set the "paranoia" settings to either retain =
or clear the Run history on every reboot. However the WIN XP version of =
TweakUI doesn't seem to have this capability.

Where would I go to set whatever to make WIN XP retain a memory of the =
apps run from the Run box?

The old TweakUI
(http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/PowerToys/Networking/NTTweakUI.asp)
will still work with Windows XP and you can try using the setting from
here.

If the older TweakUI would still work, than that almost certainly means =
there's a reg hack to achieve this end. Anybody know what it is?

Go to Start \ Run and enter "gpedit.msc"

Expand "User Configuration", then "Administrative Templates", and click
"Start Menu and Taskbar". Is the "Clear history of recently opened documents
on exist" policy configured?

T'was not; is now. Don't guess I'd ever found that yet and so I did not =
know where it was before. Thanks. I might even be able to find the =
registry key now from that hint, not that I'd need to now.
