I'm trying to turn on the Recent Documents panel when I open Word 2007. I follow the path: Office Button=>Word Options=>Advanced=>Display and find the control. It's greyed out and a box comes up and tells me the Administrator has set the group policy so this doesn't work. Arrrrg! I'm the Administrator and can't find anything that tells me what setting to change. A real nuisance that worked fine in Word 2003.

Anybody know what to do?

I have not found any option under Display...

Its simple reg tweak that clean MRU list. Open Registry Editor and Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\<Pdouduct Name>\File MRU

For Microsoft Word
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\File MRU
For Microsoft Excel
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\File MRU
For Microsoft Access
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\File MRU



and so on.....After select File MRU; Delete all entries of right sides named item1, item2 and so on and

histry will be erased.

Maybe I wasn't clear, I WANT a recent documents list. Also I'm running XP, not Vista, and the registry tree does not lead to "FILE MRU" in the path you gave me.

Hey, they have really upgraded the graphics on this site. Very nice.

I have this same problem on XP MCE, I'm the only user and of course I'm administrator, did you find a work-around for this annoying glitch?
