The File dropdown menu has always shown the last 3 files I used at the
bottom
of the menu, but someone in my family has done something to turn this
feature
off. How do I turn it back on? I know this is a simple question, but I
can't seem to get a simple answer!!

Thanks so much to whomever can help me with this.

Best, Ladywulfe
