How do I get My Recent Documents to stay open?

[Ma No]

If I delete a recent document marker in the normal view of Windows XP
(going Start | My Recent Documents) the window then closes; so I have to
open it again to delete a second recent document marker. In the classic
view, the window stays open; so I can delete more than one marker at a time.



Is there a way to get that window to stay open in the regular Windows XP
view?

Hi,
There is a workaround. From Folder Options> View, check "Show hidden files."
Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\{username} Right click My Recent
Documents> Properties> Uncheck "Hidden."

You can browse to this folder whenever you want to selectively clean out
recent documents. You could put a shortcut to this folder on the desktop or
some other convenient location.

Hope this helps,
Don
