Increase the amount of items in the Run MRU list

I'm trying to increase the number of items shown in the Run MRU list. The registry key in question is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

The relevant value is MRUList. From what I've seen, the maximum is 26, the values are a-z.

I've tried adding values with symbols and numbers for the name (e.g. 1, #, +), and adding them to MRUList value, to no avail.

Any ideas?

(using an external launcher program is out of the question)

No, the limit is fixed and you can't use more than 26 entries. You'll have to use another way like an external program - so why is this a bad idea for you? I'm sure there are launchers you can even plug in the start menu near the run command and that'll have almost the same look-and-feel - and if not, you can always code your own launcher.
