I'm running XP w/SP2

I want to increase the length of time that documents appear in "My Recent

Thank you

Not sure I understand. AFAIK - there is no time limit on "Recent

I think a better name would be 'the last XX number of things I opened". You
can change how MANY things it stores - up to a point.
