Most Recently Accessed Files

I went directly from XP to Windows 7.

One of the options on the XP start menu was "Documents" which listed "My Documents" and "My Pictures" at the top (never used). Below that was the 10 most recently accessed files. The most recent files was extremely useful.

In the W7 navigation pane there is a "Documents" selection but it doesn't list the most recently accessed files.

How do I get a listing of my most recently accessed files added to the W7 start menu or taskbar?

Thanks for any help on this.

Edit: & check the box for "Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar"

Bongo, that's it. I really appreciate it. As I learn more about W7, I like it more. Everything is there if you know where to look. Many thanks.
