Default Start - documents (classic mode). Where do those two folders come from ?

Hello all,

I've got XP in classic mode, and when I click "Start" and hover over
"Documents" I get a menu pane showing two folders, a divider bar and a
number of recently used files.

My question: How to I add/remove folder entries there (and maybe a program
or two too) ?

My first addition would be to the actual "recent" folder, so that I can
easily get more than just the last few recently used items. After that,
who knows. But seeing the "My Pictures" folder there I wonder why it
doesn't also contain easy shortcuts to "My Music" and "My Videos" ...

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

Not all softwares are configurable as you would have imagined.

I vaguely remember a tweak that varied the number of recents shown.
Can't remember if it was a registry setting, or similar, or an add-on.

He's asking about the OS itself. (Yes, I know that's software too.)

Thats a possibility, yes. But it isn't a conclusion I normally start with.

I seem to be remembering something of the same. But in this case its really
about being able to change the stuff above the divider bar.
