My Recent Documents
-
Is there any way to enable "recent documents" cuz i realized that it is not on my start menu...
To Display the My Recent Documents Folder
i have tried this but unable to find "recent documents" in the list...
To display the My Recent Documents folder on the Start menu:
1. Right-click Start, and then click Properties. Or, if the Start menu is already displayed, right-click an empty area of the Start menu, and then click Properties.
2. Click Customize.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Recent documents, click to select the List my most recently opened documents check box, click OK, and then click OK. The next time you click Start, the My Recent Documents command is displayed on the Start menu.
Hope someone can help me once again
Thanks

This is school/company or personal PC?
If it's used in school or company, then there's nothing to do. It's the policy. If it's purely for home use, then yes. -

Microsoft Technet also states that it's DWORD, not binary.

Although I think it's tweakable... I don't want TS to reformat because I think it's doable...
Registry is Windows... if it dies, Windows dies too... -
