I'm running MS Office 2007 Pro on a Windows 2003 server. I have my users
using Office through Terminal Services. Recently, all of my users had their
MRU (Most Recently Used) list changed to reflect my list. Any ideas on how or
why this happened? None of the files I've opened since then show on their
lists and visa versa.
On another note, I have two files that ALWAYS show up on the left-hand side
of the screen asking to auto-recover. Everytime that I click on any answer,
it says that the file cannot be found. As above, this occurs on all of my
users' terminal services sessions as well. Can anyone help with these
issues??? Thanks!

Are you sharing essential user files that are not designed to be shared?
e.g. You cannot share the Normal.dot file among multiple users in Word
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811468 (this is targetted at earlier
versions than 2007, but the same principle applies).
The MRU in Office 2007 is also a per user setting normally stored in the
user settings of the registry. at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\W ord\File MRU so changes
for one user should not be changes for all - or indeed anyone but the
current user. Similarly all user configurations that are stored in the
registry are stored under the current user's settings.
As for your autorecovery files. This is an example of what can occur when
through, sharing unsharable facilities, lock files are not deleted and get
in the way for other users. See
