Recent program list

[borderknight]

I always have to open up microsoft office to access any of its programs which
I have recently used. I should be able to access these by clicking on start
then the program in the recent list this must be a vista problem as it does
not occur on my PC which has an XP operating system

Right-click on "Start" and choose Properties. On the Start Menu tab, check
that the box "Store and display a list of recently opened programs" is
