Previously access drive/folders not listed in Win 7 Explorer
On a new HP laptop installed last week in a Windows 2008 domain, when the user clicks Computer (use to be My Computer) it opens and lists all her local and mapped drives properly.
When she clicks the Down Arrow at the right end of the bar with Computer listed, it never lists the prevoiusly accessed paths she has used like c:\Users\Lisa\Docuemnts...
Her old XP laptop worked fine until the screen died.
I've always seen it list previous folders. How do I fix it?

Here is a cropped screen print of what Explorer shows when you click the down arror. On all other systems it shows me the previously accessed paths. This has been in service one week and shows nothing.

There's actually an option in IE Options>Advanced>Browsing "Use inline auto-complete in Windows Explorer and Run Dialog" ....
However, it looks like that setting is tied to the Start Menu's properites...
Right Click the Start Button>Properties>Start Menu Tab>Privacy, and make sure that the bottom one "Store and display recently opened items in the Start Menu and Taskbar" is checked.....

Run5k,
I verified that the options your lonk mentioned are already checked. I have performed the following tests and cannot resolve the issue.
1. I verified IE9 allowed history to be saved and clicking the address bar in IE shows history.
2. Opened Word, created a test doc on the desktop, created docs in c:\users\xxx\documents and also on mapped drives on their server.
3. I closed Windows explorer and reopened it.
4. Click the address bar and there is no history listed.
