How can I increase the number of commands that remain listed when you go to
the run command?

You can increase the screen size like so:

mode con lines=50

As an afterthought: This is only effective in a Command
Prompt. In other words, type cmd {OK} in the Run
box, then

mode con lines=50
 
This did not increase the number of the list. I have 26 that rotate in the
list as I use them. Never more than 26. I would like about 50. Thanks.
 
See Lem's suggestion.

It shows to put a for 1, b for 2, etc. That would only give you 26 capacity.
Does that seem right?

I think what the OP meant was how to increase the number of entries in the
Start > Run command drop down list (i.e., the RunMRU list). I haven't verified
this, but look here: http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/69/01/1.html [FIND
on page for "Run Command"]

Again, I haven't verified the accuracy of the advice at
http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/69/01/1.html but if it is correct, you
may be limited to 26 values. You'll have to experiment and see if, for example,
the string for MRUList in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ RunMRU is case
sensitive (i.e., try adding capital letters at the end of the string).

In the interest of increasing the general knowledge pool, please post back the
results of your experimentation.
 
If Autocomplete is turned on things get real interesting, type the first
letter and then stretch the window with the mouse to see all the entries
that start with that letter.
