PLEASE NOTE: The following tip involves making changes to the computer’s registry. You should always make a backup of your registry before making any changes to it and should seek expert assistance if you are unsure of how to modify your registry.
Although the ‘My Recent Documents’ feature of the taskbar in Windows is really useful, when working with a lot of files, or if I want to open a file from a few days ago, the file can have disappeared from the list. After a little googling I found this handy tip that lets you increase the size of the recent documents list from the standard size of 15 items!
Simply visit this link - http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and look for ‘Change the Number of Recent Documents to 25′. The link provides the registry change required.
