AFIK you need to rename it in the bookmarks then repin it

Do you mean in the start menu as recent documents

i use openoffice and have a blank document saved to my desktop for use is there away i can pin the document when i right click on the icon on my desktop pin to the taskbar is not showing
You need to the pin swrite program from start menu/programs

on the bottom right handside there is a flag when i click on it a pop up says "1 message - set up backup - i backed up today to factory settings but that pop up keeps saying backup

This is the control panel/backup restore option set up a backup if you open the action CENTRE pane(flag), select maintenance dont check/message for backup

sorry for so many questions

I found these yesterday for you for Windows 7 Tips , if they help all well and good, I would not personally turn User Access Control (UAC) off (its mentioned quite a lot in of some of the tips)

You can limit the size of the 'Frequent' list -

Right click on the Start button and select 'Properties'.
In the pop-up window that appears select the 'Start Menu' tab.
Click on the 'Customize...' button.
At the bottom of the "Customize Start Menu" dialog box there are two settings for "Start menu size".
Change "Number of recent items to display in Jump Lists" to your preferred size (I like 5).
Note this will set the Frequent list size for each and all programs on the taskbar but it won't limit the number of items you can 'Pin' to a particular program.




As far as back up is concerned, in your other thread I mentioned you had two options for doing back up - the Windows one and the HP/Compaq Recovery Manager one. You presumably chose the Compaq one so Windows thinks you haven't yet done a back up.
