How to increase size of Start -> Documents list? 2

[TonyGroves]

When I click Start -> Documents, I get a list of the last 15 files I opened with Explorer. Now, I'm wondering is it possible to increase the size of that list to, say, 30, or whatever will fit on my screen? Does anybody know of a registry entry that I can tweak?

Thanks.

(though it doesn't seem to work on my XP machine! - Perhaps you'll have more luck with 2k).

Thanks for that, but it doesn't work for me either. I get an "access denied - key in use" error message no matter what way I try it. It must be Explorer that's keeping the key open.

If anybody out there knows of any way around this, it would be great to hear about it.

If you can't find a registry fix, Tweak Genie allows you to change this setting. You can find it at

To be honest, this tool doesn't do a whole lot (as you'll see by the reviews here:

), but it will accomplish what you're looking for if you gotta have it.

There's a cool work-around outlined here:

I tried it out and it works fine.

Yes, that's a good solution. Thanks.
