Correct, TweakUI 2.10 doesn't have the option any more. But I can say
from my own experience that the registry value behavior described in
those articles is correct.
Just to be su Did you look in the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
and find the value on the right side named NoRecentDocsHistory, and
set it to decimal zero?

Thanks, Jay,
My copy of Power toys (ver. 2.10) does not include the option. A peek in regedit shows
that recent docs is properly set. So I'm still mystified.
