Recent files list not showing in Word or Excel
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 Last edited by Flobiwan; 04-22-2017 at 04:53 AM. |

In each application, go to File|Options|Advanced>Display and check the 'Show this number of recent documents' setting.
If they're both set correctly, changing them might re-initialize the display. Failing that, you might try repairing the Office installation (via Windows Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features > Microsoft Office (version) > Change > Repair).

Thanks. I think i figured it out. It was a problem with a registry edit i did to remove the "non-commercial use" tag from the Home and Student Edition. It somehow blocks the recent files from showing up. Once i reversed that change, my recent docs list came back.
