Recent Documents is an application to replace and enhance the
functionality of the "Documents Menu" on your Windows 95 / NT4
Start Menu.
Normally the sub-menu displayed by the "Documents Menu", lists
the last 15 document files that you have accessed, allowing any
of these documents to be reopened simply by clicking on the name
of the document. Whilst this facility was very welcome within
the new "Windows 95" interface, there are some issues and
limitations with it: -
1. It is not possible to customize which documents are listed,
how they are listed or how many documents should be retained for
future reference.
2. You cannot age the documents, allowing documents that were
referenced more than x days ago to be ignored.
3. It is very difficult to remove a document from the menu if you
don't want it there.
4. If you access two documents that have the same file name, but
reside in different folders, only the last document referenced
will be stored. The "Documents Menu" ignores folder names!
5. You canÆt group documents into specified categories of
document.
These "features" of the Documents Menu, relegate this (should be)
useful feature of Windows to another one of those "it's there, but
I don't use it" tools. So what's the answer... "Recent Documents"
of course!
"Recent Documents" provides a user interface to the function of the
Documents Menu. Whilst Recent Documents is running, any documents
that are passed by Windows to the Documents Menu will be redirected
to "Recent Documents". These documents may then be viewed in various
formats, they can be customised so that true document histories can
be maintained, filtered to restrict which documents are displayed
and automatically moved into user defined document category
groupings.
