Question: How To: Reduce the number of items shown on listed on the "My
Recent Documents" pane?

I have tried the following solution but was not successful. I could not
locate the reg key listed below. It does not exist on my Win XP Pro system. I
know the max value is 15 items but how can i reduce that to say 4, 5 or any
number less than 15?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and modify the MaxRecentDocs value.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre nt
Version\Policies\Explorer

"MaxRecentDocs"=dword:00000019

Or download the edit on line 210, open it via Notepad and change the dword
value, then merge.
