Default Recently used documents list

Is it possible to tell Windows XP to only store certain files in the
recently used document list?

I want all *.doc & *.xls files to be stored but nothing else.

I found the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs
which seems to control this but I am not sure what to do to disable all
extensions except the ones I want.

Hey that sounds like a great idea! Wish I knew how to do that too.
