Recently used file list option greyed out in options setting

MS XP professional, sp1; MS Office 2003
I have no idea what happened, but a number of settings in
various MS office products suddenly changed. One of
those is the option to choose how many recently opened
files appear in the 'file' menu. The option ('General'
tab on the Tools | Options menu) to set this number is
greyed out both in Word and Excel. Any idea why my
recently used files list, as well as the option has
disappeared? How to repair this?

MVP's indeed!
By Jove, that did it. Yes, I had just re-installed Tweak
UI as it had 'disappeared' along with a host of other
oddities happening a few days ago. I only re-installed
it to use the auto-login feature and didn't mess with
other settings. THANK YOU!!
