Start>Run query

[yksmir]

On one xp machine I have if I type anything in the "run" box (such as
msconfig or regedit) it will retain the item I typed seemingly
forever. The next time I start the computer if I open "run" I'll see
msconfig already there and all I have to hit is ok. On my other xp
machine that info disappears when the computer is turned off. Why the
difference and can I change something to make it stick?

Thanks
Yks
