I don't know. I mostly use gvim, and there the * and + registers are
set, but if I start Vim in an xterm with my usual vimrc and viminfo,
then :reg doesn't mention them, not even after using :wv in gvim. (My
'viminfo' setting doesn't include the < and s parameters, which means
"save all registers").

I use:
:set vi='1000,!,%,c,r/mnt/ history=200
cb=exclude:cons\\\|linux go=!cgimrLtTp
see
:help 'viminfo'
:help 'history'
:help 'clipboard'
:help option-backslash
:help 'guioptions'
