Hi,

I doubt you will find anything in Excel to help you but I have heard that:

The following registry key worked change works:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer

A DWord Value named NoRecentDocsHistory, with a value of 0 should restore
your Recent Documents for MS Office.

A value of 1 will disable the Recent Documents "feature."

If you're part of a domain, however, it is possible that your administrator
may be controlling this registry entry by Group Policy, and you won't be able
to change it. In that case, you'll have to contact your system admin.

See the following MS TechNet page for more information:

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire
