Annoying Problem

The drop down history in the "run" command on the start menu continually clears
by itself. I would like it to retain the history of frequently run programs.
Does anyone know the cause or a fix?

Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2.

If you are clearing history in IE, that will clear the Run history too.

clear the history.

Any other ideas of what could be causing this?
