Since installing SP2, amongst other problems, I've notice that the
most recently used documents in all MS programs and the start menu are
getting cleared if you reboot or log off. Anyone have a workaround. I
heavily relied on this feature!!

Also, ICK on the new login style. Great for XP Prof, I'm sure...but
HOME??? We used to be able to do switch of users without logging off,
but NOW? I't makes you log off.

Seems to me we've LOST features in XP SP2.

Fast user switching is still available in SP2. Works just like it did
before. You don't need to log off.
Hit winkey + L, choose another user, or start, log off, switch users.
 
Winkey + L = Lock Computer with Fast User Switching Off. The MRU list can be
turned on again by going to Taskbar Properties, Customize, Start Menu,
Customize Start Menu, Advanced.

Thanks! Do you have any idea what I need to do to not lose my recent doc history?
