I've been tinkering with that since you suggested it Andre, but I can't find
a way for the settings to stick so that when you click the recent items
button in the start menu.
However, I did come up with something else. I don't know if the OP will like
this or not. It's a couple of extra steps.
It is possible to put a shortcut on your desktop to Recent Items. And you
can set up the folder the shortcut links to to show the files in order of
the most-recent use. Or you can sort them any other way you can sort a
folder.
How to do it: Right click the Recent Items button in the start menu. Choose
Send To. That will open a cascading menu. One of the choices is "Desktop
(create shortcut)." Choose that.
(I'm using Ultimate 64 bit, but I assume other versions offer the same
options. I could be ASSuming too much.)
Note that when you create that shortcut and use it, you may have to add a
column in the folder so that it shows date modified. If OP doesnt know how
to do that, just ask. We'll tell.
