STIS: I have Excel in my start menu (Win 7), and it used to be when I moused-over it, the last 10 documents showed up. Now they don't.

what happened? How do I get them back?

Responses:

right click start -> Start Menu Tab -> Privacy -- Are both Store and Display items checked ? -- nm - decline Jan 25, 06:20 4
- yes -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 06:22 3
  - Look at Recent Items - Are there any excel files there? - decline Jan 25, 06:29 2
    - Jax, here might be the fix. Those recent items are in a super-secret file that may be corrupted - oblique Jan 25, 06:30 1
      - ok trying this -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 06:33
Try this maybe... - Don Homer Jan 25, 06:18 1
- Hmm, nope. My recent items show up for other things - just not Excel anymore. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 06:20
Not mouse over, right click -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 06:17 7
- ? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 06:18 6
  - Ah. I see you said Start Menu now. Pin it to your task bar and right click on the icon. See if that works -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 06:22 4
    - It's pinned to my Start Menu already. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 06:23 3
      - I have mine pinned to the Task Bar. More convenient -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 06:23 2
        
        I have a task list that is the first thing I open every day. I like to click Start >> mouseover Excel (when it displayed recent items) >> Task List. - JaxSean Jan 25, 06:25 1
        
        My point was, the pinned Excel icon on your Task Bar has a similar feature. I was curious if it was broken also or not -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 06:28
  - In windows 7 a mouse-over on the task bar shows running programs, a right-click shows the "action menu" -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 06:21
