Recent Documents Disappear

[D Harris]

Office 2007 has been running fine for 18 months with Vista. Last mont
the "Recent Documents" list began disappearing after a reboot of th
computer. Just exiting Excel or Word didn't cause the problem. Usin
Excel Options/Advanced or running the Diagnostics did no good.
I wonder if this isn't some kind of Registry screw up, but will specifi
instructions to fix.
Any help is appreciated

Usually this behavior is the result of the user installing some
privacy/security software that wipes/erases recent history entries.

You are correct. The culprit was "Advance System Care". For anyone wit
the same problem, Look under Maintain Windows/Privacy Sweep/an
Automated Sweep for the application that is effected.

You're welcome, thank you for posting back with the program name, and
settings.
