Hi, I recently enabled the "recent documents" feature (of Windows 95/98) in
Windows XP but it's not functioning correctly. Although recently accessed
text files, webpages, pictures, and movie files are all displayed, for some
reason mp3 files are not. Does anyone know how I can make it so that when I
access mp3's it will add them to the list? Thanks.
 
Since I never use Windows Media Player to listen to mp3's I've disabled it
from playing those files. That's why I was looking to get the recently
accessed documents list to do it, just like it used to do in Windows 98.

[[Troubleshooting
Some programs cannot add items to the My Recent Documents folder. In this
case, the document that you recently used is not listed. If you want to open
a document that is not in the My Recent Documents list, click Search on the
Start menu to search for the item.]]

Add this value to the edit flags for each file type in Millenium.

FTA_NoRecentDocs
0x00100000
Don't add members of this file class to the Recent Documents folder.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\giffile
EditFlags=

The value in the registry is probably in the binary data format. To read
binary as a dword-
Bin 76 54 32 10
Dword 10325476 then add (in hex using windows calculator in scientific
mode) 100000 so 10325476 + 100000 = 10425476 -> in binary (byte order
reversed) 76 54 42 10

Though as standard this flag is NOT set. It is 00010000 which means Opening the file is safe.
