Vista - Recent used programs

Hi, looked around and have seen references and questions all over the place
but no answer. I cannot start most of my programs using the Vista Recently
used programs menu i.e. that displayed on left clicking the Start Menu. It's
driving me mad having to go through the complete menu structure to get to
the programs. I know I can put them on the quick start menu but don't want
all of my programs on there...

Regards...

Steve.

Right click empty space in your Start Menu select Properties select the
Start Menu Tab make sure that the Store and Maintain list of recently open
files check box is checked.
