Can't See Path to Recently Used Documents in Excel 2000
 

I'm running Office 2000 Professional on an XP Home Edition (w/ SP 2) at home.
I'm running Office 2000 Professional on an XP Pro Edition system (w/o SP 2)
at work. On both systems, my XP patches are up to date (except that I
haven't installed SP 2 at work--I know it conflicts with a product we use).

When I launch Excel on either system and click on FILE, I get a list of the
10 most recently opened XLS documents on that system. (I changed the default
of 4 to 10.) At work, I can view the full path to each listed file--drive,
folder, filename. At home, though, I only see the filename.

Any ideas how I can get the full path to display on the home system? I
can't find any configuration within Excel that seems relevant

Thanks.

If the files are opened from your default file folder which is set in
ToolsOptionsGeneral, the path won't be shown on the MRU list.

Delete the contents of that dialog box and you will see the path on the MRU
list.
