[QUOTE="usasma, post: 61713, member: 3"] What version of Windows are you using? That'll help to determine where these things are. I'll research this at work today (more systems to check it on) Try checking HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU and let us know if anything is there My Win8 x64 version doesn't have a key there Also, AFAIK, the contents of the RunMRU key are where these are stored. There's another mechanism that actually puts the entries in there - it could be either a permissions issues, or a problem with the mechanism that puts the entries in there. It'll take a bit of research on my part, so please be patient. Finally, as a first try, please do this: If you don't have the DISM command (Win7 and earlier), then try the SFC.EXE /SCANNOW from an elevated (Run as administrator) Command Prompt. EDIT: Have you done any other modifications in the registry? If so, this may have accidentally caused the problem (and means it may not be fixable with DISM/SFC). If that's the case, then please try using System Restore to reset the system to a time BEFORE you modified the registery. [/QUOTE]
