Recent Items Do Not Show Recent Mp3's
Aug 4, 2009I have recently installed Windows 7 RC and was happily using the recent items to access a particular mp3 I use often. Now, for some reason, Recent Items on the Start Menu only seems to display links to documents and saved web pages. It will not store the mp3 I use or any piece of music for that matter. I'm assuming it won't display media items in general.

Dec 13, 2011I unfortunately listened to the husband of one of my wife's friends and ran CCleaner on my Win 7 PC and now the Recent Items list on my Start Menu, which I use a lot, is totally fouled up. The settings are correct and I've edited the registry but the number of items displayed is never consistent, never more than 6, and sometimes disappearing completely, whereas I have it set to store 10 items.

Aug 28, 2011I have noticed lately that even though I un ticked the option in the taskbar/menu properties for recent items to be displayed, the items in the "recent items" folder are still generated, and can be viewed by running a simple search for a file.
So what I mean is, if I open a document called "private documents.pdf" for example, then close it, anyone could do a simple broad search for pdf's on your computer, and it would find "private documents.pdf" in the "recent items" folder...

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecent Items Showing Programs As Well As Documents?
Oct 29, 2012I'm having a bit of an odd problem with the "Recent Items" menu on the start menu. I have found many google searches on this topic but none that answer my particular question. the question I have is simple can I set it up so that the recent items menu only shows recently opened documents and pics and NOT recently used programs? Recently used programs just clutter up the list and feat the purpose of it being there at all as I have quick launch icons for the programs I use frequently. I'd like the recent Items list to function the way the recent documents list did in vista, as this is ALOT more useful and it only included recent documents and pcitures, not programs. The idea is that I have a short cut to documents I am using frequently without having to go the long route of locating them on my computer to opent them.

Jul 22, 2011I'm configuring Windows 7 Enterprise for my office. I've gone through and installed all the programs. I then do the deal where I log in locally and copy my profile and make it the Default profile.
Anyway, when I log in using my profile (Domain Admin) no problems! When i log in as a typical user (without admin rights) I don't see anything on the left side of the start menu (recent programs). I open Word, Excel, etc. but nothing is ever added to the recentfavorite program list.
How To Retrieve Deleted Items From Recent Places
May 10, 2012I think someone copied a file from my laptop onto their USB stick while I was at work. I got home and started to work on the file, then when I pressed save it said 'cannot find location, insert removable storage device into drive d' (or something like that) so I 'saved as' in another location, then checked my 'recent places' folder. Sure enough there was evidence of a removable disk being modified on my laptop whilst I was at work. I confided this to my house mate, checked my laptop again later that night and it had been deleted from the recent places folder. I now want to confront that person about what happened as it is now obvious to me that they had copied my file, but wondered if there's any way I can get the evidence back. I have tried the undo button, but to no avail. This happened on Tuesday (8th).
View 1 Replies View RelatedLimiting Which Programs Add To The Recent Items List
Jan 6, 2010I've noted that Firefox has an about:config (browser.download.manager.addToRecentDocs) setting that is supposed to make it not put the downloads into the Recent Items list (I dislike how downloads clog it up). However, it doesn't work.
If I open the download, then it won't show up but that's a poor workaround. The question is if there's a per-program method to determine what will go into the Recent Items list or am I up the creek without a paddle?
Recent Items History Not Updating In Taskbar?
Jul 14, 2010I initially found the windows7 feature (used to various OS's, both Linux & MS, from '98 to Vista, passing through 2000, even ME, XP and so on...) of having the recent items list directly linked to the favorite programs buttons in the taskbar great.
The problem is that, since a while (I don't know what happened WHEN this stopped working) the list of recent files used with some programs (typically EXCEL) doesn't get updated anymore! I checked the %USERNAME%/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/RecentItems directory and there, for instance, I DO find files that, unfortunately, do not show up when I right-click the excel icon in the taskbar.
I double-checked the taskbar properties dialogs (right-click on the start icon and so on, as explained elsewhere here) and it is all in order...
How To Find Recent Items (NOT Places) In Dialog Boxes
Nov 8, 2010how do I add to the left of windows dialog boxes 'recent items'? I know how to activate recent items in the start menu and I know what recent places is about but neither gives links to recent _items_ i.e. files in dialog boxes.For e.g. you want to attach a file you have just worked on to an email in outlook. You click the paperclip icon and you get the dialog box. You click on recent places and all you get are the folders you have recently opened and saved to. If the folder is not there or you're not sure in which folder the file is in it does not help you find the file.

Expanded Right Click Context Menu On Jumplist Items (open Multiple Files With An App)?
Jan 28, 2009I visit these forums alot, and ran a search just incase, yet was not able to find this anywhere. It's something I thought could be useful for some people You know how you can shift+right click on items in windows explorer to get added options? Well, the same command works on jump lists, except with some useful added functionality.I remember at least one forum member having mentioned that the reason they misses quicklaunch is that they could drag and drop files onto an app to open said files with said app. Well, although this doesn't completely cover that problem, as you have to use the keyboard, it sure does help.Lets say you have 10 images you want to edit in a program, but you dont feel like opening up the program and then searching for the files, because you already have the folder with the files open in explorer. Normally, if you right click on the item in a jumplist that represents the application itself, you only get a tiny context menu with 3 or four options. I was messing around and saw that if you hold shift while you right click, you will get a full host of options like one might when browsing in windows explorer. So if I want to edit those ten images in GIMP for example, I can select the images, right click and press copy, open the jumplist for GIMP, and hold down on shift while I right click on the GIMP program in the jumplist. Now the right click menu gives me the option to Paste, so I select paste, and voila, my 10 images open in GIMP.

Apr 14, 2012[code] Four days ago I did a complete hard drive backup.
