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

  It took me a long, long time to ask this question - did not want to appear stupid I guess. My PC coming up to two years and never had 'My recent Documents' in my Start menu, don't figure out how to do something that should be very simple.

  Help, please!

• 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.

• Microsoft Word 2016 do not open recent documents

  In my previous version of Word, when I launched it would open all the docs that have been left open, when I left. It was really great for helping me to remember what I was working on when I stopped changed my Mac.

  It seems to be controlled in the system preferences of Mac (not in MS Word preferences.) In the General preferences pane, I deselected 'Close the windows when you exit an application', but still it does not reopen what was open when I quit Word. I have to go in my recent documents and reopen all individually in my last session.

  Someone knows how to fix this? (This does not really seem like the community just to publish on, but I can't seem to find an appropriate place.)

  If it is not a direct solution, if you have the word preserved in the Dock, even when closed, you can right-click on it to get the list of recently used files and open like that.

• How to block recent Documents on the shared computer

  My home pc IS a shared computer so if someone clicks on the "recent documents", they can see what ive been looking and visa versa, we need to this icon or a button, by name if go, there is no need of this 'recent document' choice, one please?  Thank you

  Original title: 'my recent documents '.

  Windows XP is designed to be a multi-user system.  You need to create a 'profile' of each different user and password - protect.  In this way, not only will the other users not being able to see the list of "recent documents" that you have been looking, they will not be able to access one of your documents (unless you want them to be able to do).

  See http://help.expedient.net/general/winxp_profiles.shtml

  You need to create accounts of users 'limited' for each userrather as "computer administrator" accounts, and you must create a "computer administrator" for use when necessary.  You should not use the built-in account named 'Administrator' on a daily basis, but let him be available in an emergency.

  Note that the "computer administrator" accounts CAN access documents and files belonging to other users.

• can not clear 'my recent documents' drop files on the start menu

  Can't erase my files in the 'My recent documents' from the drop down on the start menu

  You didn't say what you tried to do (you did not also what version of Windows you have, including service pack level).

  Assuming you have some variety of Windows XP, the usual procedure is to right-click on the Start button, select Properties, click the Start Menu tab, click the Customize button, then finally click 'Clear list' or if you use the XP Menu, click the Advanced tab, then click on "Clear list."

• I'm unable to open one of my 'recent documents' document. It is said to make sure that the network resource is available.

  Original title: "Recent Documents".

  I'm unable to open one of my 'recent documents' document.  It is said to make sure that the network resource is available.  What does that mean?  And I can't find the document in "My Documents" is.  And I tried a search.

  Hello

  The error means either that the document no longer is located in the folder it was when it was finally opened or the location that the file was initially located in is no longer in the same place.

  Example 1: I open a document in the My Documents folder, then after closing the document, I moved manually the file to the desktop.

  Example2: I open a document located on a removable hard drive. After the closure of the paper, I then disconnect the removable hard drive of the PC.

  In these two examples, Windows would be able to find the Document using the "Recent Documents" list

  Step 1: I recommend that you check the trash or see if the document is located on a removable hard drive (or USB key) that is is more attached to the computer.

  Step 2: Use recovery software of the third party to recover the document.

  Anyone can shed light on this issue? all answers gratefully received

  First, there has been no recent updates for IE. There were two updates of security for XP this past

  On 12 July.

  Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for July 2011
  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS11-Jul.mspx

  The latest updates for IE (KB2544521 & KB2530548) realize the June 14,2011.

  Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for June 2011
  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS11-Jun.mspx

  Being a user of Microsoft Security Essentials , I wouldn't know of the latest updates for Norton but I am aware that some antivirus programs may cause this problem soyou might consider a posibility.

  In fact I think that Imran M may have been on the right of remember suggesting someform has corruption. Nothing will do it easier than the registry cleaners because I see that you have two-Registry Mechanic and WiseFixer.

  You may be lucky enough that you would have only to reset the permissions for the recent Documents.

  And then there is no way to assess the damage, to use Registry cleaners. I HAV come across situations where the permissions would be reset, which is best left to the Microsoft Support using the remote connection. I've also seen cases requiring a full reinstall of the operating system. Personally, I would rather deal with malware infections.
