Hi Karen Ozkan's idea looks good - sorting them into different folders and changing your Menu Folder command so it shows a subfolder of Recent containing the text docs. You need to consider how often the script should be run - once every few seconds would be too much overhead. You could set it in Scheduler to run once every hour or even daily - and also run it on demand, when needed, just before accessing the Recent folder.
K> (and the list takes forever to load, as there's obviously K> a lot of stuff there... how can I limit that?) Win 95/98 limited the number of files automatically by deleting the oldest links when the number exceeded the maximum. Win 2000/XP lost that feature. The Recent item on the start menu only shows a (most recent 20 (approx)) subset of the contents of the Recent folder, which grows huge. PowerPro has a built in command for that: File deleteold 5 c:/temp File deleteold 4 c:/temp/*.ext File.deleteold(days_expresion,path_expression) File deleteold 3 recent The parameters are a number of days then a folder path, optionally including wild cards in a file name. All files older than the specified number of days are deleted to the recycle bin. You can use recent as the folder name to access the folder of recently accessed documents. That only needs to be run once every day approx. You could put a File Deleteold command as a PowerPro Scheduled event, either startup or once per day. Of course, if you use both Ozkan's suggestion and also File Deleteold, you could combine them in the same script, sorting them into subfolders and also deleting all files older than 10 days in Recent and in each of its subfolders.
