I'm running XP w/SP2

I want to increase the length of time that documents appear in "My Recent
Documents" on the Start Menu. How do I edit this time frame?

Thank you

Not sure I understand. AFAIK - there is no time limit on "Recent
Documents". It (by default) stores 15 of your last opened items. Sometimes
I think a better name would be 'the last XX number of things I opened". You
can change how MANY things it stores - up to a point.

I am constantly opening documents through out the day. Sometimes all 15 documents appear in "My Recent Documents" and sometime only 3 or 4 appear. If 15 is the default then I must be inadvertently clearing the list somehow. I will
watch that for a while.


Thanks
