Recent documents

[cybertooth]

Hi guys I have a strange problem with XP the recent document folder is always empty . Can you help me resolve this .

check if ur xp has been configured to auto-clean ur recent documents folder at logoff/shutdown.

Click Start > Run > regedit>navigate to the following key.
HKEY_Current_User > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer
Right click on the Right Pane > New > Dword Value & name it as ClearRecentDocsOnExit
Double Clcik on it & set the value to 0 . it will now not auto-clean.
if it is set to 1, it will auto-clear.
