Default Recently used file list is not available; how do open it to cl

TweakUI is one of the Windows PowerToys, a set of add-on utilities from
Microsoft
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...owertoys.mspx).
It gives you a point-and-click way to make changes in the registry that
affect some of the things that happen in Windows, including the Recent
Documents list.

Thanks, for both Word and Excel the functionality disappeared when my
PC was upgraded. I will try and find "TweakUI" - what is that
actually?

If you used TweakUI or another registry hack to turn off the Recent
Documents display in the Start menu, that also turned off the setting
in Office programs. You'll have to go back to TweakUI and turn it on.
