'Recent Documents' going missing

[Emrys Davies]

I have Win7 Home Premium and Word 2007

I am learning Word from the Internet:
http://www.baycongroup.com/word2007/01_word2007.html and am pleased with
my progress. However, my 'Recent Documents' is normally empty and I find
them in My Documents and I restore them via 'Open with Microsoft Office
Word'. I have a feeling that my problem is that I have boxes un-ticked
somewhere which would eradicate this problem. 'Help' is not much help with
this regard and Google is somewhat confusing on this topic. Hopefully you
can assist me.

Well, silly me. No wonder my Recent Documents were all going missing. I
had my CCleaner set to empty my Recent Documents and I have only just
realized that.

Yep, just one of CCleaner's notorious oversteps.

Mmnnn! So just because the OP didn't configure CC correctly, it's CCs
fault. NOT.

To many... are using Cleaning, Registry etc tools without any real idea
what's going on.

1) They don't bother to configure it.
2) After the initial Analyze or Scan for issues action, they never bother
to scan through the displayed list of things to be sorted, but just click
on the cleaner button.

Oh dear, all my email for the past 100 years have vanished. ;-)
