This week I have a few Windows 7 tips to help with your documents.

Displaying the My Recent Documents folder on the Start menu will make things easier and faster since it will display a list of all the documents you've recently used for easy access.
1. Using the right button of your mouse, click on Start and proceed to Properties.
2. Click on Customize.
3. Go to the Advance tab by clicking on it.
4. On the Recent documents, click on the check box that says List my most recently opened documents. Then, click OK and click OK again.
5. To check if the process worked, click on the Start menu. You should see the My Recent Documents displayed.

Put a Pin Up of the Folders You Use Most Windows 7 allows you to pin up the folders you use most on your taskbar. Simply hold your mouse over the favorite folder, right click, and drag it onto the taskbar. Windows 7 automatically ins itself to the Explorer Jump List. To open the folder, right click on the Explorer (folders) con and select the folder you want.

Next week, I will have a few tips for Office 2010, as I got the upgrade yesterday!!
