Windows 7 tweaks

For some reason, the Windows 7 Start menu doesn't include "recent Items" (or "Recent Documents" in XP) by default.
To enable it:
Right click the 'Taskbar',
click 'Properties'
> select the 'Start Menu' tab
> click 'Customize' >
in the dialog displayed, check off the appropriate menu link, 'Recent Items'
Then press "OK"
