"Recent Documents" dont' show up when copying to a new computer
On all my client machines I backup favorites, Desktop, Quicklaunch bar, Recent Docs and a couple of others so that i can copy them to a new computer if i need to. I copyed someone's "My Recent Documents" folder to the correct place on their new computer but they don't show up on the menu. I double checked on the computer and they are there. Is there something else that needs to be updated before they show up?

If I'm not mistaken, "My Recent Documents" is merely a pointer within the registry to files they used most recently. You may need to export registry keys for this, which should be saved under the program, not sure if its CURRENT USER or LOCAL MACHINE.
