Default Restrictoin of xp windows feature


there's an application setting that you could switch off.
Application.DisplayRecentFiles (user can switch it back on)


check explorer policies:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer
"NoRecentDocsHistory"
DWORD
0 = Allow RecentDocs. 1 =Disable recent docs

note there's HKLM policies too!

be carefull both with policies and regedit.

I'm not sure if changing this registry setting has any effect
on the current instance of excel..
