Default exporting/saving recent files list

Thanks, but I was looking for something more general. To use your finding,
I'd have to run the macro in each of my Office programs. Further, that would
only save a text file (or something similar), and, after getting the new
machine, I'd have to open each Office program and manually open each of the
files that had been listed until the list was exhausted.

Someone came by, and we think if we save all the subfolders from the
"Documents and Settings" folder, then copy that data into the same location
on the new machine, everything will be "restored" (so to speak). That does
assume that the new machine's software and operating system are the same
(which, in my case, will be true).

Do you think there are any flaws in this approach?

Office saves these shortcuts?)
