That "Run" box

["Randall M" <randallm () fidmail com>]

Hey,

Need a little thought on this. There is something about the "Run" box area
under the start menu that has bothered me. One of my jobs is loading new
laptops for sales folks. I often use it to log on to my desktop where
software is stored for the laptops. I use the \\ext160 and log on. One day I
hit a different key and noticed that the list box dropped down with a number
of entries. Entry areas that I "know" I did not enter or go to. The laptop
is new. It is a member of the domain. I then played around a bit using
different combos \\r,\\p, etc. Also just hitting other letters. The domain
computer showed entries. 

At home, I find that histories would show up also, which I understand the
"run" to hold. Something about this bothers me. I able to track what has
been done and where one has gone. But on that domain computer I was "sure"
that this new laptop had not had those entries typed before. Am I just being
superstitious here?

Thank You 
Randall M
