I have a question. In windows 7 recent folder all you see is recently modified with the date last modified. Is there any way to see recently viewed with the time and date like in Vista? What I’m trying to be able to see, for example, is the date and time last viewed for any video files. If possible, every date and time a video file was viewed?

But what constitutes a recently opened document, such that it shows up to the right of the Start menu? For instance: I have a (Excel 2007) file I access daily…once I’ve opened Excel, it shows up at the top of its list of recent docs, but it won’t show up in the Start menu/Excel recent docs whether I open it from Explorer, via Excel, or even do a ‘find’ within the Start menu and launch it there. I see this in all of the Start menu recent docs, not just Excel…some recently opened docs don’t seem to qualify for inclusion and I can’t seem to determine its standards.

1. Stop using IE.
2. Stop using the BETA.

i know this is old but,

I just wanted to point out that the xp connection manager has been available in all later releases of windows. There’s just one(or two) extra step(s) of getting there.

This is a Windows 7-related topic, I’m posting here for now since it’s a Windows 7 article.

Anyone know how to get VZAccess Manager to work on Windows 7? I don’t have a Internet connection at home, I’ve been using Verizon mobile broadband. I installed VZAccess Manager on Windows 7 and when I try to activate it, it says WWAN is not turned on, and I have no way to turn it on. My master wireless switch is on, and a simple reboot to Vista lets me connect to mobile broadband with no problem. It’s frustrating since if I don’t have Internet access I can’t effectively work in Windows 7 and check out its features and provide feedback. Thanks for any answers.

@Mtoc,

What I meant is that I’d love to see some citations of that claim, because I’ve not seen or ready any indication to even hint or suggest that.

I didn’t literally mean it’s gone, gone… I know it’s still technically there through registry edits… but I meant it’s gone from public view. For most users and practical purposes, it’s gone.
