I use Excel 2007. When I click the Orb in the upper left corner, I should see a list of recent documents I've worked on especially if I've clicked on the push pin as article http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...010075984.aspx explains. In the past I would also adjust how many files can be displayed and I would usually change this to be 9 (I think the default was 4).
But what happens is the file list goes away. It even happen on the same day (and I might have had 3 files there). Why is this happening and what setting can I look at to ensure these files stay there? Thanks! ![]() |

I do use a program called CCleaner occasionally but don't remove Recent Documents as I don't ever want that cleared. Thanks for confirming I didn't miss anything in Excel. I will keep watch in case some other 3rd party program is trying to do me any favors. Quote:
Can you tell me what the location of that folder is supposed to be? Presently the lnk files do exist here:

I use CCleaner too (it's fantastic!) and it can definitely be responsible for this. You could give it a try - get a couple of recent documents remembered and then run CCleaner to see if it clears them out. Any other cleaning software would also be a potential culprit.
To get the recent documents folder location you can

Colin,
I don't see the Recent Documents folder just Places. Wonder if it has to do with the version of Office or the OS? ![]() What do you think? I'm gonna keep my eye on CCleaner when I use it. ![]() Thanks. |

Yeah, the filepath I gave earlier is for Win XP. I don't know where it is in Vista.
However, I just tested on my other PC (using XL 2010 on Windows 7) and CCleaner did wipe the recent workbooks section. Here are the screenshots to prove it... |
