Ok, I followd the link you provided and made a change to the registry as the
article explained. That allowed the option in Excel to be available but
still no recently used Excel files would show up. So I went back to the same
place in the registry and changed all the keys that referenced file displays
and now it works. I appreciate the link as I was able to get back something
that MS took away.

Thank you for your help.

Are you running TweakUI?

If so, you may have disabled the MRU lists by unchecking "maintain document
history list" under the Explorer tab.
