spacesurfer Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Only files such as word documents, pdf documents, text documents show up in that menu item. Programs should not show or nor do folders.my guess is they were opened previous and those items were never removed.but we really need to know what kind of items are showing up in there.....

Stead Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 If you delete items from the recent documents menu doesn't it ad in previous ones? if you look in the folder of recent documents theres normally 1000's of shortcuts, at least, theres normally in mine, and if i delete them manually out of the recent list it just brings up the older onesI think, i'm not 100% sure, it may help explain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivista Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi Stead .... that all makes sense but the dates and times were showing as the time that I was uninstalling NORTON and installing YOUR UNINSTALLER2008! Could dates/times get changed on the recent items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stead Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 if there was a scan done that could explain it, i'm not sure if indexing service would set the last accessed time, on the other hand, if they get loaded into the recent documents, i'd of thought that itself would set last accessed stamp as its reading the data to load into the recent documents, if that makes sense? at least thats the only thing i can think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
