So I shut everything down, and rebooted, hoping that'd help. I've changed a few of the items, which I specifically note as being once pinned items to the, but they're still not on the pinned list.Įdited the registry file as stated above, nothing appeared. If the item is not pinned, the first section will be. Value looks like this: *C:\test1\test.docx Office 2016 is same except under the 16.0 key of course.
Each pinned file has values named "Item 1", Each user for Office will have their own key, and under that key will be "File MRU". Office 2013 stores it in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\User MRU". While I've found SOME of the files that I'd had pinned, the specific item shows them as not pinned- according to the article. I have found what they're describing, and have been going through the listsįor the last hour or two.
I did read one article, on the MS Answers forum which says to get into the registry, and look for a specific sub-directory, and look for settings that'd restore the pin-links.

Thus, I'm hoping that someone here knows how to deal with this. I've since been trying to locate some discussion in dealing with this issue. I noticed it when I came in this morning, but didn't really pay any attention to it, beyond moving the pinned icons on my toolbar, and moving the toolbar back to the left side of the screen.Īs I began settling into the morning's work, I began to notice that all my pinned files for office- Excel and Word- were gone. Apparently IT upgraded Office from 2013 to 2016 over the weekend.
