Kelly's Korner - ClearRecent.exe

[SeaMaid]

Kelly's tool clears some Recent File Lists in Windows. There is an option to
"Prevent Recent Files List." Well, I accidentally clicked that.

- What registry keys are affected?
- Which recent files are affected?
- How do I undo whatever it did to my system so I will get Recent File Lists
generated again?

I tried running the tool again, got "Run-time error 9: Subscript out of
range" when certain options were checked, and then the program shut down.
Windows XP Pro SP2. Help me get my system the way it was before running this
tool. I want to undo "Prevent Recent File Lists." Thanks.

Go to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm "R" and pan down to it, the
restore link is there.

I went back to her website and downloaded the reg files #50
(PreventRecentDocs) and #55 (AddRecentDocs) to compare them.

The Prevent one has more entries than the Restore one. I just want to make
sure that using #55 is going to undo all of ClearRecent.exe's "Prevent
Recent File List" (which may be equivalent to using #50).

Please verify that I did it right and that my settings are where they're
supposed to be.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
ClearRecentDocsOnExit=01 00 00 00
NoActiveDesktop=00 00 00 00
NoDriveTypeAutoRun=145
NoRecentDocsHistory=0
NoRecentDocsMenu=0
NoSaveSettings=00 00 00 00

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartMenu\StartMenu\Documents
(There is no Documents key)

I can't confirm the registry as it's totally different on my machine.
