Are the items in the list "pinned" to the list? Check the icon to the right of each item in the list.

When I go to the Start button, then click on Excel 2007, a window opens
showing Recent files. For whatever reason, these are not being kept recent,
but are "stuck" on files of days gone by. How to I get it to show recent
files? Have same problem with Word 2007. I am using Windows 7.
