Recent Documents list is being cleared automatically
I have Recent Documents set to display 20 documents, but it seems to
automatically clear itself when I turn off the PC, i.e. when I start work the next day the list is empty. How do I prevent this please? Regards Alan

Is this a company PC? If so, chances are that when you log out the registry
entries associated with your profile are wiped. The list is stored in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12\Wor d\FileMRU. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org AlanM wrote: I have Recent Documents set to display 20 documents, but it seems to automatically clear itself when I turn off the PC, i.e. when I start work the next day the list is empty.

Yes, it is a "company PC", but surely this is a configuration issue, not a
question of "who owns the hardware". "Graham Mayor" wrote: Is this a company PC? If so, chances are that when you log out the registry entries associated with your profile are wiped.

It is nothing to do with who *owns* the hardware but how it is set up. Many
corporate IT departments setup user log-ins to wipe personal settings when the user logs out ... not something the average home user does. Check with your IT support. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org AlanM wrote: Yes, it is a "company PC", but surely this is a configuration issue, not a question of "who owns the hardware".

Thanks for assistance. Yep, there was a routine (CCLEAN) installed that was
doing a cleanup on system startup. Problem solved. Regards Alan "Graham Mayor" wrote: It is nothing to do with who *owns* the hardware but how it is set up.
