Re: Issue with Recent Programs List on Start Menu

Mark,

START | RUN | Type 'regedit' (withought quotes) & click OK

Navigate to:

Currunt User:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

All Users:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Key Name: NoRecentDocsHistory
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 0 = display recent docs, 1 = disable recent docs

Also, under the same key:

Key Name: ClearRecentDocsOnExit
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 0 = doesn't clean recent docs on shutdown, 1 = clean recent docs on shutdown

Key Name: MaxRecentDocs
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 16 (for the same as what you have the START MENU set to)

Remove from Start Menu:

Key Name: NoRecentDocsMenu
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 0 = display recent docs on Start Menu, 1 = disable recent docs on Start Menu

Close the registry editor

Note: When removing Recent Docs from the menu & re-enabling it you need a restart to add
it back to the menu, yet removal is instant

Start menu no longer displays any recently-used applications. I
checked the properties; the settings are correct to display up to 16
applications.

I tried turning this feature off; rebooting, and turning this
feature on again. The issue remains.

Is there a registry setting to check?

Cheers,
