I used Classic Shell 3 to edit my Start Menu some time back. I made it look like XP with "Documents" meaning Recent Documents. Originally it had hundreds of documents and folders listed, totally useless

I switched to CS 4.3.1 a few weeks ago, looked over my previous choices and changed a few things. I still have "Recent Documents" in my settings, but now the folder is totally empty, and I suspect I did something wrong in Classic Shell, but I don't know what. The "Recent" folder in my User files is also empty. At least it's consistent.

Right click Taskbar -> Properties. Go to Jumplists tab and enable the option to store recently opened files/documents. Thereafter, they should start showing up as you open them.

It's already enabled, but it's pointing to an empty folder. Is it a bug in CS or 7 that has to be fixed?

This has resolved itself. Duh.
