Running Windows 98 Second Edition. Suddenly I am unable to clear the document folder that is just above "Settings" when you click Start/Settings/Task Bar and Start Menu and then the clear button, it does not clear the contents of the Document folder. I have tried reinstalling Window without success.
Is it possbile for me to get this back without formating.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

also check your registry for MRU
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs]
the values will be in hex

Thanks guys for the help. I will try them both and get back to you.
I am sorry about the question being a duplicate. I have been experiencing all kinds of problems the last two days and that is probably why it happened.

Thanks so much Sys. I ran Scanreg\Restore from the dos prompt as you suggested and it took care of the problem.
To Steve, I ran the Hkey and found an MRU. But not knowing what to do, I left it alone. This was before I ran Scanreg/Restore.
Thanks again to all
