Hello Lythria,

Thank you for posting. Are you referring to the list of recently run programs that appears when you click on the Start button or do you mean that when you click Start, then click All Programs there is nothing listed there? Which version of Windows 7 RC are you using? If you are missing the list of recently opened programs follow these steps to ensure that the settings are correct for the Start Menu.

1. Right click on the Start Button

2. Click Properties

3. In the Task Bar and Start Menu Properties window click “customize”

4. Click on the “Use Default Settings” button

5. Click “Ok”

6. Click “Apply”

7. Open a program or two and ensure that the icons for these programs are showing in the recently opened items.

If this does not resolve your problem please let us know in your response.

Thanks,

Jack
