Changing number of displayed Recent Documents.

I have this instruction for XP:
go to the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create (change) here dword value "MaxRecentDocs" and set it to equal the
number of documents to display in the recent documents list.

There is no registry key \Policies\Explorer in that folder under Vista but
there is a folder
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs

Should I add this DWord here, or somewhere else?

Thanks

try creating the registry key and adding the value.. putting it in that
other location wont work

Open the Group Policy Editor:

Local Group Policy Editor > User Configuration > Administrative Templates >
Windows Components > Windows Explorer > Maximum number of recent documents >
Enable and set the number

Must be a bit dense - where do I find Local Group Policy Editor? (Home
Premium...)

Not sure with your version but with Vista Ultimate: Start > Run > gpedit.msc
(OK)

That's not available in Home Premium - I tried that for something else!
