Recently Used Files List
I have version 9.0.3821 SP-1 w/2000. The recently used files list is not
showing up under the file menu; however it is for Word (ver 9.0), Viso (Pro 2003, SP-2), Power Point (ver 9.0). The entries are displayed when Excel is running and a file is opened using other open methods, but once Excel is closed and re-opened, the list is gone. I have checked the option to display the list under 'Tools/Options'. I have browsed previous discussion entries but they do not seem to relate to my situation. I looked in the registry and found that there are four subkeys for my list - the first has an entry, but the other three do not. The default does not have an entry. |

Recently Used Files List
TweakUI is an unsported piece of software that allows the user to change a bunch
of settings on their pc. These settings are usually associated with the User Interface (UI) and can be changed by editting the registry. But since most people don't want to edit these registry directly, TweakUI gives the user a nice pretty graphical interface to make these changes. There are different versions for different versions of windows. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx (There are a bunch of "powertoys" at that link that you may want to review/download.) Not excel related, but if you like the things that TweakUI can do, you may want to look at: http://www.x-setup.net/ pkeenan wrote: What is TweakUI? "Dave Peterson" wrote: maybe...

I don't see TweakUI installed on my system (company computer). Also, the
registry indicates that the files list should display. Shouldn't I be able to fix this without installing tweak? I even added file locations in the registry, but when I closed the registry, opened Excel, they still weren't there. When I re-opened the registry, the files that I added were gone.

If you don't have TweakUI installed, then that isn't the problem.
I don't have another suggestion. Sorry. pkeenan wrote: I don't see TweakUI installed on my system (company computer). Also, the registry indicates that the files list should display.
