Excel Documents Don't Appear in My Recent Documents

I use Office XP. Word, Publisher, and Power Point documents all appear in
'My Recent Documents' on the Start menu ... but Excel documents never do.
The default setting for saving my Excel documents is Documents and
Settings/My User Name/My Documents. Any ideas as to what is wrong and how I
can correct it? Thank you.

Go to <>tools<>options<>general
and have a look at setting for "recently used files list"

My apologies
Didn't read your question properly.
Jumped to a conclusion.
It does work ok on my system. Never use it but they are there.
