            Bug ID: 112463
           Summary: No Windows Start menu entries for LO components: file
                    close doesn't leave you in application
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pnetmod at f2s.com

On installation of 5.4.1.2 (x64) Build ID: 
a7cb86e6eeb2bf3a5af73a8f7777ac570321527 on Win 7 Professional 64 bit

there are no separate entries in the Windows Start menu for the individual
components of LO, even when they have been used, and consequently there are no
associated pick lists of files from the Windows Start menu, features that were
available under my previous 5.2 install.  This slows down access - instead of
e.g. being able to select Calc in the WS menu to load a new spreadsheet, or to
directly select a file from the WS pick list to be opened, the LO start centre
must first be opened, and then a new file or recently opened one.  The WS menu
provided separate lists by application module, which is a convenience when
using one module much of the time, with many files, and you need to open a file
from a less used component.

Also, when closing a file that is the only one remaining open in a module,
instead of displaying that module and giving the opportunity to open a
different file within it, the fallback is to the LO Start Centre - a new
behaviour that is confusing.

I did not detect any option in the install process that might affect this new
behaviour.  

I noted that the LO Start Centre Recent Files menu only offered "Clear
Documents" as an option, despite displaying thumbnails of files in the main
pane.  It is failing to link to the recent files list, which does at least
appear as a drop down menu within individual LO components.
