Problem with Recent Items...

Hi,

I'm using Vista Home Premium and my Recent Items on the Start menu are
listed in alphabetical order rather than by most recently used. That means
any items or files not beginning with A or B are not displayed on the list,
even if I just closed it. How can I get that list to show actual recent
items like it did in XP?

Thanks.

> > I am also having the same problem. THere must be a bug in Vista Home premium. It was working fine before, maybe an update screwed it up or SP1 (whic I just loaded a week ago). Anyway, I saw an answer to this question on here and the person who asked said it helped him but it did not fix the problem for me!! So I'm still sorted by Alpha. This was the response. I'm still searching for an answer.


Open the folder in explorer, and sort by date modified. You would not effect
the start display, but it will sort them. Rightclick the Recent Items icon
on start, and click "Explore"
