Sorry for the silly question. I kind of miss windows 2k recent documents, but I am having trouble recreating it. I tried making a menu to recent ?C:\Documents and Settings\Recent\? but I am unable to filter the directories. I do not need recent programs just docs.

dnox,

Create a virtual menu. Use your Recent location for the source.

Once the icon is created for your virtual menu, open it up, in which you will see all recent files, directories, etc.

Now right click in the opened menu and go to Customize Menu. Click on that and go to Filtering folder. See the picture I attached for the details to filter your docs in the types you have.

Once you do this, you should be able to see only your recent docs. Wink

dnox,

You are welcomed.

Never thought of using this myself, but I like the idea of just seeing docs instead of all recent files, so I created a Recent Docs menu for myself also.

it would be nice to add a feature "clear recently accessed" on recent menus created as vitual folders ( Windows ) so you would not have to go to start menu configurations to clear them.

I second that Smile

I think using a mask of *.???.* works better than trying to list specific extensions - unless you are deliberately limiting the contents (how about a recent menu with sub-menus for Excel, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, etc...) - also then you can set the modified filter to 7 or 14 days.

Attached is an application which does just that, so you can create a shortcut to it. Only one line of code actually, so I included the Delphi source as well as the compiled EXE Smile. Hope it helps!
