recently used files continuously disappear

[s]

For the past few months, me and everyone in my company loses their "Recently
Used Files" list upon logging off at night even though we have the setting to
store up to 9 files. It keeps the list during the day if you reopen Excel,
Word or Powerpoint but once you shut down/log off, you lost the list the next
day.

Check with the IT department to see if any software they have installed or
system policy they have set automatically deletes the recent files list.

That sure sounds like a security program or setting.
