No need to fix Registry, turns out it was TweakUI, (um.. or rather, it was me) and there's an MS KB article about the very problem (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/284896/EN-US/) which I found after Googling for "windows MRU Lists missing".
And it had happened at the same time as installing PP, but not through PP's fault -- I recall now playing with that setting, (TweakUI > IE > Add docs to Start Menu) and turning it off because I don't use the Start Menu... duh. Thanks for all the help with that, sorry to bother the list with it. No idea why I didn't do that search a few weeks ago when I first noticed the prob either. Duh. Again.
