Therefore, uninstalling - re installing Office repeats the problem or set-up unless you clean the Registry -- In sum: a basic reinstall is NOT installing a virgin copy of the Office product

That's all very good, but it's completely irrelevant. Uninstalling/reinstalling an application isn't going to change whether Windows is showing recent files.

Sorry, but I would suggest anyone start with the most obvious and work inward -- Don't assume anything even with the mouse -- FYI, a mouse battery show it is okay, yet be below exactly what is needed

The mouse is the least likely culprit, simply because if it had a low battery (and you don't even know if og2471 is using a mouse, let alone whether it has a battery), then the cursor would stop working altogether - either with someting displayed as a result of the cursor being in a 'hover' location when it stopped, or with just the pointer on screen.

Your advice and reasoning displays a fundamental lack of understanding of the difference between OS issues and application issues.
