Run History registry setting

[Joe Murphy]

Does anyone know the registry setting to retain the run history when you go
to Start > Run?

It is clearing itself and I want to make sure it retains the history.

I know how to do it in the GUI, what I need is the registry key for this.

Thanks,
JM

If you do it in the GUI, it should hold. You must be doing something
to clear it when you run a cleanup of your system.

I'm interested in editing the registry with a logon script so that it always
retains. That's why I need the registry key.

If you have the "ClearRecentDocsOnExit" Policy enabled, the recent docs
history and the Run MRU are cleared at every shutdown.
