previously opened files?

[John616]

I just installed MS Office 2003 for Students. The list of previously opened
files will not display. The check box under "tools," "general" is greyed-out.
Any suggestions? I was able to find and open any files I need, but it would
be nice to not have to hunt them down every time.
