    Run Menu does NOT remember previous entries


    The dropdown menu always remembered entries in WinXP.
    I may of toggled something in Win7 unknowingly.

    How do I get the Run dropdown menu to remember my previous entries?

    Hello DW,

    You might double check using the tutorial below to see if you may have turned off auto suggest for it.

    Windows Explorer Auto Suggest - Turn On or Off

    In addition, make sure that you have recent programs turned on.

    Hope this helps, :)

    Brink: Thanks for responding.

    Resolved it by:

    Start Menu > Properties > Tab:StartMenu > Enable Checkbox: "Store and display recently opened programs in the start menu"

    Noted your other suggestions.
