SP2 security changes maybe?

First of all let me say that after installing SP2, my XP is working great! I
know that is hard to believe, but so far, I like the changes (mostly
security ones). I have noticed a behavior change with SP2 that might be by
design. Before the upgrade, I could go "Start-->Run" and the drop-down list
would contain several files that I had recently used. After installing SP2,
the list seems to be cleared every day. Is this one of the SP2 security
precautions? (I have run Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, CW Shredder, HijackThis and
have run a virus scan. No problems.)
 
what security?
turn off the windows firewall(lol) and get a full ,2
direction firewall ,that actually protects your system from
internal parisites too.
and check your settings in various things too ,as the
update tried to put some things back to stock settings.

and don't forget to go to windows update as there is yet
another critical update as of yesterday.
 
Wait a minute! This morning everything is still there in the dropdown list.
Maybe I was forgetting about the couple of times that I use System Restore.
I did clear the list once through Ad-Aware (negligible items).
