My Recent Documents

[Guest Danny Smith]

Hi folks,

 

Each week I empty the list of My Recent Documents (just to keep things clear

and organised) but then I find that thereafter whenever I open a document

(such as a Word document, image file etc.) it doesn't appear on the My

Recent Documents list - as if I didn't even open it - it just says it's

empty.

 

I've found a workaround, and that is to go to C:\Documents and

Settings\JohnDoe\Recent, go to Properties, Security tab, and manually add my

username to the permissions with Full Control, but the next week when I

empty the list I have to do it again. Does anyone know of any way to 'fix

it' so that I don't have to keep following that process every time I empty

the list?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Dan.
