Excel 2007 Documents Not Displayed in Windows XP Professional sp2

Start Menu's Recent Documents List:

---

Dear Microsoft Support:

I can't figure out how to get recently used Excel 2007 (new file formats) documents to show up in the Windows XP Professional (sp2) Start Menu's Recent Documents List.I checked the Internet, the knowledgebase, many parts of the MS web site, etc. for an answer but can't find one.

Are Excel 2007 documents supposed to show up in the XP Start Menu's Recent Document List?Is this a bug or do I have to do some sort of configuration to make it do so? If it's a bug, when will a fix be available?

Are these new Excel 2007 files filtered out like EXE files are which will not appear in the Recent Document List?

The Excel 2007 file types are listed in the Registry.

This question is also posted on Experts-Exchange...No solutions yet.

Thanks.

Jim.

This forum is nothing to do with Excel. Nothing to do with Windows XP. And it isn't a route to Microsoft Support.

Perhaps you should try elsewhere.
