how do I get the recently used file list to work in Excel 2003. .

[Guest]

I want to use the Recently used file list in Excel 2003 but the option is
greyed out on the Tools\Options\General tab.

This has happened in all the Office progducts I have.

What is the problem, please

Are you running TweakUI?

If so, you may have disabled the MRU lists by unchecking "maintain document
history list" under the Explorer tab.

Hi Gordon

Thanks for this.

This was the problem

1. manually added "NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000001 to
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Dword was set to 1. I set this to 0 and all is now working fine.

Thanks very much for your help

All the best
Ray
