    If you mean the Recent Documents list, it's on the Start Menu.

    1. Right-click the Start button and select Properties.

    2. If you're using the XP Start menu, click the Customize button. If you're in the Classic Start menu, stop. There doesn't seem to be a Recent Documents mechanism.

    3. Click the Advanced tab.

    4. Check the "List my most recently opened documents" checkbox.

    5. OK out of everything.

    Hope that helps.
