Office XP was recently installed on my computer and my OS is Windows 2000.  In each of the components--Word, Excel, Access--there is no document history.  Each time you open a file you need to browse to open it.  When I go to View, Options, General (in Word), the 'Recently used files' option is grayed out.  That's true in Excel and Access as well.  There is another computer with the same software, same OS, XP installed at almost the same time.  On that computer document history is activated.  Any idea what I need to do to activate this?

Thanks for your help.
