Retreve last few documents that were worked on

[Dorit]

In the old operating system, you were able to go to start-
documents and see the last 8 or so documents that you
worked on. In xp it shows you ALL your documents. Is this
feature available, is so, how???

Thanks.

It shows me the last 15 here. That's the default behavior; I did
nothing to make it happen.

Did you add "Recent Documents"? If using the XP style of start menu that
item is not included by default. You need to add it.

Right click the Taskbar and choose Properties. On the Start Menu page,
click Customize. On the next screen, click the Advanced tab. Place a
check next to "List my most recent documents." OK your way back to the
desktop and you should now see "Recent Documents" on the right hand side
of initial start menu panel.
