How do I get 'My recent documents' on my Start menu? (Windows XP)

Similar Questions

• Yet once again, I ask. How can I put "recent documents" on the start menu in windows 7, I use Office 2003.

  Just need a shortcut for 'recent documents' which has disappeared.  It had XP & Vista.

  Could find and add a shortcut to 'new document' that displays white screen, fax, letter, etc.

  Cancan, probably not what you want, but is "Recent Articles" in the start menu of good?

  It will contain recent documents, but also has other types of files like images.

  Sorry if you tried and it's not what you need, or I misunderstood.

• How to permanently delete a recent list of the start menu program?

  Hello

  I would like to know how I can prevent a program from appearing in the list of most recently used programs on the start menu in Windows 7 (Pro).

  For example, "notebook" is in this list, but I've only start it by double-clicking on text files, never through the start menu. In this way, 4 of the 10 last menu entries are shortened I will never use and that take away space for other, more valuable shortcuts.

  I know that I can delete items manually by using the right-click menu ("remove from list"), but I really prefer a way to do this is permanent.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Michael

  I don't think there is a way to accomplish what you describe. There is no way to set this component to "ignore" specific programmes.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• Windows Vista how can I get to the bottom of the start menu?

  I have a problem, "Start menu" I like there to the top instead of the bottom in windows vista. I don't know how to take it down. If any of you guyz has an idea, please report it here.

  Hello

  I guess your taskbar is on the top of the screen instead of the bottom? If that's what you hear, right-click the taskbar and select "lock the tasbar" to unlock it (if it is not already unlocked). To check f it is locked, there will be a checkbox next to "lock the taskbar". If there is no check box, it is already unlocked.

  Once unlocked, just drag the taskbar to its current position to the bottom of the screen where you normally and then lock the taskbar.

  Kind regards

• How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?

  How can I get around having to sign into my account (Windows Vista 7) during startup as I forgat my password?

  Hello Bob Zientak,.

  If a password is required to log on your system, then you won't be able to cirumvent it. Unfortunately the users of this forum are also not allowed to suggest ways to help you bypass (hack) the password (3668Microsoft Terms and Conditions).

  Remember passwords are case sensitive so maybe that you type a password in the case of bad? Did you create a password recovery disk when you created your password first? If Yes, then you must insert the password recovery disk to allow you to change the current password. If you did not create a password recovery disk then the next and more radical, opion is to re - install Windows.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• How can I get a driver for printer Canon I455 (my windows vista 32)

  How can I get a driver for printer Canon I455 (my windows vista 32)

  You can get this support from Canon... If they chose to take over the device in the given operating system.

  Looking at the Website of Canon's Support for this printer and select your operating system, they * sentence * support with your particular operating system.

  "This software is a module that extends the functionality of the printer driver for Canon inkjet printers. Your printer must be installed through Microsoft Update before you download and use this module. »

  So, basically install you by choosing to look on the Microsoft Update site when you try to install the driver.  It will download one Cannon gave to Microsoft after the release of Windows Vista.  Then, you restart and download the other file (on-site support) to give you more features.

• When I right click the tab recent items on the start menu, the option to clear recent does not appear.

  How can I restore it?

  Hello

  This occurs if the file desktop.ini in the recent folder is deleted.

  a. Click Start, type "% AppData%\Microsoft\Windows" and press {ENTER}

  b. right click on the folder named recent, then choose Delete. Click Yes when you are prompted.

  c. now, type the command "shell: recent" in the start - menu search box, and then press {ENTER}.

  Note: The command above recreates the recent folder, as well as a new desktop.ini file and opens the file.

  d. disconnect and return connection. You should now see the context menu list of recent items clear when you right click on the recent items on the start menu folder.
