Hello,
Any suggestions as to how to fix "My Recent Documents"? No new documents add
to the folder and it remains persistently empty. I get an "Access denied"
message when attempting to go to customizing the Start menu advanced tab.

Are you Right-Clicking on the Start Button and then selecting Properties
from the list?

If you select Properties then You need to select Customize from Start
Menu Tab. Then from Advanced Tab you should ensure there is a TICK next
to "List my Most Recently Opened Documents".

Have you changed the name of the User?
If the computer was setup with a user "Owner" as done by a number of pre-loaded systems, and the
name is changed to "Gary", then you lose the 'my recent documents' feature.

Yes, that has all been done. Inb fact, I have tried unticking, applying and
re-ticking to see if it changes the state of the folder. When I go to the
hidden folder in Documents and Setttings under my user name, I am denied
acess to the folder but can see no way of re-enabling acccess. Perhpas if I
tried it in safe mode?
Thanks

No, I have been using the computer in XP fashion (it was downgraded from
Vista) for 6 months without any such problem and then spontaneously this
problem seemed to occur without a User name change.
