| Guest | Start menu "Frequently used programs list" no longer shows any pro After having disabled the "Store and display a list of recently opened files" and "Store and display a list of recently used programs" options in the Taskbar Properties dialog box, I realized I made a mistake because I didn't want all the frequently used programs to disappear. So I re-enabled the option to display the recently used programs. Unfortunately, it still has no effect - I checked and unchecked and logged off and restarted and still not a single program shows up in the start menu. If anybody has an idea of what's going on, please help. |
