Recently Used Files

I recently re-installed MS office 2003 and now in Word I am not able to view
the recently used history list. I went to TOOLS>OPTIONS>General Tab to check
the box, but Recently Used Files List is greyed out and I am unable to check
the box.
Any ideas why?

In the Windows registry, if the value of the NoRecentDocsHistory key in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
is set to binary 01 00 00 00, then change the value to binary 00 00 00 00.

This worked great. I wonder, how does the reistry get changed?
Thanks for you help. This has bothered me for several weeks.
