Start Run list erased when rebooting

I seldom shut down my WinXP computer since it reboots slowly. However I do
after I get updates. The last two times I have rebooted, my list of
prefilled items in the Start, Run list has been wiped out completely. There
are several functions I perform from there often, so would like to stop the
list getting erased.
Has a recent Windows update caused this? If not, what else could have?

Do you have TweakUI installed on your computer? If so, take a look at this
web site for further info on the subject.

Verify that the ClearRecentDocsOnExit value is set to 0

Do you have CCleaner installed, and do you have it set to run on startup?

Good luck,

Donald Anadell

No CCleaner installed, in fact nothing installed lately except a keyboard
driver.

Not, TweakUI is not on this computer.

The only item I have at that location is:
NoDriveTypeAutoRun, and a search for ClearRecentDocsOnExit found nothing in
the registry.

I have a similar issue with the Run mru's. Based on my experience it has to
do with the installation of IE8. In any case my question is - Will adding a
"ClearRecentDocsOnExit" key with a value of 0 to the registry resolve this
issue? I already have a key "NoRecentDocsHistory" with a value of 1 in
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer]
I've always had this key and it never has effected the Run mru list.

Zone Alarm has a Cache cleaner facility under Privacy settings which
cleans the Run MRU.

You can simply delete the ClearRecentDocsOnExit value.

Sorry I don't have anything else to offer. As you can gather from the
replies to your post, there is generally only two reasons for this to be
occuring on your machine.

1. A Third party System Maintenance program(like CCleaner), or others as
described he
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/runmru.htm

2. Registry Policy setting of "ClearRecentDocsOnExit ", as described he

Good luck,
