I've been able to define this problem a little better. It's not just one
file, it's happening on all of my files. Any file that I now open will
show up at the top of my Recent Documents list, as it should, but only
until I shut down and restart. After the restart, the file has
disappeared from the list.
The list that does appear is one that seems to be from a few weeks ago.
But no new files (or recently opened and saved files) get added to the
list -- other than temporarily, until the computer gets shut down.
I checked another (non-OOo) application, and it seems to be remembering
its recent documents OK.
I switched to OOo 2.0.3 on July 5, and this is roughly when I began
encountering the problem with Recent Documents. I can't say for sure it
exactly correlates with 2.0.3, however.
Any thoughts? Is there any setting that somehow might have gotten
botched up? Thanks.
Windows of some description? This sounds to me like permissions have
changed on the file that keeps this info. Have you updated recently? Can
you find where your files are kept? On my XP box they are in C:
\Documnents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\<app>\ if I
remember correctly. On XP this directory is by default hidden so be
prepared to change settings in Windows Explorer. Check perms of the
<wherever>\user/\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu which is
one of the files that keep history.
Sorry, I should have given my operating system. Yes, it's Windows XP.
There may have been an update recently, it's set to auto-update whenever
MS in its wisdom thinks that Windows needs to be updated. The files are
kept in a directory similar to yours: C:\Documents and
settings\<username>\My Documents.
This is an ignorant question I realize -- how do I check permissions?
I've never done that or up until now, had any occasion to do it.
