How to Modify the Documents Menu

MORE INFORMATION

1. Using Windows Explorer, open the Windows\Recent folder.
2. Add shortcuts to the documents you want.
   
   NOTE: To add a shortcut to the Recent folder, use the right mouse button to click an empty area in the folder, point to New on the menu that appears, and then click Shortcut. This starts the Create Shortcut Wizard to help you create a shortcut. Creating shortcuts in the Recent folder by copying an existing shortcut to the folder or by using the right mouse button to drag a document to the folder does not cause the document to appear on the Documents menu.

   1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
   2. Navigate to the \Windows\Recent folder, and then open it.
