change default errorlog retention

How can I save more errorlogs for SQL Server. Right now i believe the
default is 1 current and 6 archive logs.
How can I change it to 10 or 20 error logs ?Hi
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MS
SQLServer\MSSQLServer\NumErrorLogs
registry entry of DWORD data type
(path may change if you have a named instance)
By default the key is not here.
BEWARE: Incorrectly changing the registry may result in your system becoming
unusable. Test your actions on a non-critical installation before you do it
on a critical system.

folder) and select Configure. You can select the number of logs there.
