I've recently noticed that the My Documents folder is missing when the Start Menu is in classic mode, I've tried the Windows XP version of TweakUI and X-Setup, and they both say "Show My Documents menu in Classic Start Menu view" (Along those lines, anyways) but it is still not there, is there anyway to fix this? it works fine in the new XP style, and its a minor annoyance to me not having it right there.

Go to this page. Navigate down to Row 16. On the right column, click on to save to disk the registry edit Add Recent Documents to the Classic Menu. Run this edit to merge with your registry. Restart Windows and there you go, your document will be visible in the start menu.
