Recent files list not showing in Word or Excel

[Flobiwan]

My recent docs do not show up in Word or Excel. The list is blank regardless of how many files i open. The strange thing is that when i navigate to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\E xcel\File MRU, i can see the file list there and Max Display is set to (25) in the registry (and in Office). The lists just aren't showing up in Excel or Word. Can anyone help?



EDIT: I just realized that my stats are wrong in my profile. I must have signed up a while ago. I am running Office 2010 32bit under Windows 7 64-bit
