My Recent Documents

last SG · 2007-11-26T23:15:11+00:00

You check yours. It's supposed to be DWORD Microsoft Technet also states that it's DWORD, not binary. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2...

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
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.

i have tried this but unable to find "recent documents" in the list...

Hope someone can help me once again

Thanks Very Happy

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.

Type in 0 and do nothing to it.

I got this when i double clicked. Is it correct?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Sub it in with 0.

OasisBlue SG

i got the Binary value screen instead of the Dword value screen

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Hmm.. did you upgrade to XP?

OasisBlue SG

nope but i have recently changed a new hard drive which requires me to install windows again...

OasisBlue SG

erm am i suppose to change from binary value to Dword value?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

No.. don't do that... you will screw up Windows if done wrongly.

OasisBlue SG

so what should i do?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Not sure...

If it's purely for home use... the settings shouldn't be like this...
