Recently used file list stuck at 4

[Colonel Blip]

Hello, All!

When I open Word and go to tools|options and set the recently used file list
to show 9 files, it works fine until the next XP Pro boot. After that it
goes back to the default of 4. How can I get this to stick at 9?

Thanks,
Colonel Blip.
