Recent Items?
Just upgraded to Windows 7, and the only thing I'm missing so far about Vista is the Recent Places tab in the start menu. Is there a comparable shortcut for W7? Or can I create one?

Welcome!
No problem:
Start Menu - Customize
Also, if this is checked:
Recent Items - Turn On or Off
You can get a menu like this if you right-click on Explorer in the taskbar:
Jump Lists

Thank you so much for your prompt and thorough reply! However, now I'm having a new problem. Now when I click on "Recent Items" (as well as Documents, Downloads, and other menus) and I run the mouse over the files, it doesn't select them, and when I click on a file instead of opening that file it makes the start menu disappear. I am able to open files using my up/down arrows and enter key, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a shortcut imho. Can you help me?
So basically when you click on the shortcuts, nothing happens, but when you hit enter, it works?
I'd suggest a repair install.
