Recent Files in Word2003 and/or Windows2000

[Charlie]

I normally work, more or less simultaneously, on about 15 documents. The
File menu dropdown shows the more recent 9 .doc files.

For my ease-of-use, is there a way to increase the 9 to be about 15 or even
more? A tweak or a patch or something else? I don't mind changing the
registry, if useful.

Of course, I can create a desktop shortcut to each of the 15 .doc files, but
I'd rather use Word, since this would be automatic.

Alternately, is there a way to change the number of items that the
Windows2000 Start/Documents shows? Again, this is automatic.

Thanks.

Charlie

the limit of 9 is hard coded and cannot be changed.

however, one could write macros to build.and display a customized recent
file list.
