I can't remember how to change the default setting of the Recent Items on the
Start menu from alphabetical to date order in Vista Home Premium. I did it on
my desktop a year ago- I seem to recall it was a Registry change- but on my
laptop I'm stuck with the useless alphabetical order.

I'd appreciate a refresher.
 
CrucialHoax,

I found that site during my earlier search- it suggests an awkward
work-around and Registry tweaks for expanding the Recent Items list but no
solution for putting it in order of most recently used.

What frustrates me so much is I had the instructions and didn't save them.

This item might help, although even the writer thinks it's a bit awkward
:-)

She also presents a couple of third-party solutions.

I haven't looked into the article or the links, since I actually *like* the
alphabetical sort (hangs head in shame).
