How do you enable it? I'ts not under Start --> Properties --> Customize.

Thank you in advance.
 
Hi The_Newb_Avenger,

If using XP Pro, open the Group Policy Editor (Start>Run key in gpedit.msc
then click on OK or hit ENTER)
Go to: User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Start Menu and
Taskbar
Set the Policy "Remove Recent Documents item from Start Menu" to Not
Configured

If using XP Home, open the registry editor (Start>Run key in regedit then
click on OK or hit ENTER)
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
In the right-hand pane, look for a value named NoRecentDocsMenu and
double-click on it. If the Value Data is 0, that means that the policy is
disabled (Recent Documents will be on the Start menu). If the Value Data is
1, that means that the policy is enabled (Recent Documents will not be on
the Start menu). Change the value accordingly, then exit the registry
editor.



Regards,
