I'm running XP w/SP2

I want to increase the length of time that documents appear in "My Recent
Documents" on the Start Menu.  How do I edit this time frame?

Thank you

Not sure I understand.  AFAIK - there is no time limit on "Recent
Documents".  It (by default) stores 15 of your last opened items.  Sometimes
I think a better name would be 'the last XX number of things I opened".  You
can change how MANY things it stores - up to a point.
