Retaining entries in "run"

In my old computer, the commands used in the "run" option were saved. Any
time I needed to use one, I just chose it from the drop down list. With my
new PC, all the commands disappear on a fresh boot. Is there a way to get
the commands to stay?

Thanks!

To create an application path, so you can run an
Click to expand...
application in Windows XP from the Run dialog box you
need to:

1. Run regedit and go to
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

2. Create a new key with the what ever you want to use as
your run command:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\nameofprogram.exe

3. In the key folder that you created, create a new
string, call it 'Path' and modify the value to point the
specific folder of your
executable your running:
C:\ProgramFiles\nameofprogram.

4. Use the default string and modify it's value to point
to the executable you want to run.
