re: Question about 'Recent Documents are Missing from File Menus in Office XP' Saturday, July 31, 2004 at 9:20 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C.Ramachandran (2 messages posted) JmC That was great! The problem is solved. Thanks a million. I chose the first option. I used the Find feature for the NoFileMenu and found the entry in the Right Panel. The value was "1" which I changed to "0". On re-booting, I had the "File" Menu feature back - both in Internet and File Explorer. I also checked for the Restrictions User Key under HKEY_CURRENT_USERS and also HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES but there were no File Menu Restrictions under the sw\policies\IE\Restrictions. Thanks a ton for the excellent guidance! cr On Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 11:51 pm, JmC wrote: > > >We don't have a clue how it happened, but this could be the problem? > >Select Start/Run, type REGEDIT in the 'Open' box and press enter.
