Question about 'Recent Documents are Missing from File Menus in Office XP'

I have a question about Recent Documents are Missing from File Menus in Office XP:

I am using Windows-98SE and Internet Explorer-6. Recently, I noticed that the "File" menu is missing from IE-6. Surprisingly, it was missing from File Explorer too. I do not know when this happened, but, I had installed Windows Media Player -9 and MyIE also, in the recent past. I do not know if it is connected, but earlier I am sure the Menu's were in place. Can someone please help me in this problem? Thanks.

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. When the Registry 
Editor opens, click 'Edit' on the toolbar and then 'Find'. Next in the 'Find what:' 
window, type NoFileMenu and press enter. If the entry is found, it will show 
in the right pane. Right click it and select 'Delete' from the menu, or select 'Modify' 
and change the value form '1' to '0'. You can also check the keys below, rather than 
using the 'Find' feature. 

NoFileMenu = enable/disable Explorer/IE File Menu 

Restrictions User Key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

Restrictions System Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

Below are File Menu restrictions:

NoFileMenu = enable/disable Explorer/IE File Menu
NoFileOpen = enable/disable Open in File menu, Ctrl+O and Ctrl+L
NoFileNew = enable/disable New in File Menu and Ctrl+N

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
