Job View History is disappearing

I've created new maintenance plans and while I can view the maintenance plan
history, the job view history is deleted somehow. Where is this controlled?
The maintenance plan is not deleting job history and I don't see any other
jobs or maintenance plans that are deleting history.
This is SQL2005 SE SP2. I remember in SQL2000 you could limit the size of
the job history, but I don't see that in 2005. Is there a default somewhere
I'm missing?
Thanks
RonRon,
In SSMS, right-click on SQL Agent, select Properties, go to the History
page. This is where you can set the size of history.
