Vista Recent Programs Start Menu

Hi, I accidentally turned off the recent programs on the start menu, so they
all got deleted. Now when I turned it back on, no programs will appear. Does
anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Quinn,

Take a look at the "Will Not Remember Recent Programs Fix:" section towards the bottom at this link. It may get it going again for you.

Thank you for responding, but that did not work. The value was already at 3.
Any more help would be great!
