Re: Recent Items not updating

I have been troubleshooting this for some time and found that file in the
location you mentioned, so it is there but not working. It has a special file
icon associated with it. I tried to simply move a file to that directory but
it will not let me do that. It simply doesn't respond. I agree that there is
something in the registry causing the problem but I have no idea what to do.
Does anyone else have a solution to this problem?
