Adding MaxRecentDocs reg item doesn't work

Vista Home Premium. I've added the MaxRecentDocs Registry Item and set the
number at 25 - the number of recent items just stays at 15.
Anyone come across this and is there a solution?

Apparently, after increasing the limit, it is still limited to 10 items of
any particular type.

Doesn't seem to work that way either - I currently have in my Recent items 3
excel spreadsheets, 1 text file, 1 PowerPoint Slide Show, 7 Word documents
and 3 Word Templates. That equals 15. If I open another text file say, I
get all the above plus the new text file, but the Templates are reduced to
2.....
