hi might be due to a registry entry.

go to the following key

hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows
\currentversion\policies\explorer

find whether there is a key named clearrecentdocsonexit if it is there and if it contains the value 1 then replace it with 0.check the above in the hkey_local_machine hive.

thanks
I unchecked the key (it was '1')
but it didn't solve the problem

thanks anyway

Fixed buy doing the following
run gpedit.msc go into user config->admn templates->start menu-> and disable "Clear history of recently opened doc..."

hay,

u c what i told was the solution.u c if u have manually edited the regsitry then my tweak would be the anwser.however if the change has been done through the group policy editor then even though u manually make the value to 0 the next time when the computer boots up it will apply the group policy for the user and that vlaue would have changed to 1 again.

i should have told u to do this from group policy editor in the first place but hope now u have know about the key that is responsible for this behaviour.
