Yes, Carl, check out Milly's suggestion!
Good luck!
(BTW...I missed the top of this thread cos' I've compressed this and
don't remember...you DID do the data key thing in the beginning,

Do you have TweakUI installed? If yes, and it is the older version, check
your Paranoia settings to ensure that you have not checked the box to clear
the Recent Documents from the start menu. If you are using the later
version (for Windows XP), then check the Explorer Option to ensure that you
did not uncheck "Allow Recent Documents on Start Menu."
