OFFXP: Unable to Move Menu Commands Below the List of Most Recently Used Files

When you drag commands on the File menu to a location above the list of Most Recently Used files, and no menu command appears below that file listing, you are no longer able to place a menu command below the listing of most recently used files.

You expect to be able to restore the menu commands to their original positions on the File menu.

NOTE: You are able to restore the position of menu commands below the Most Recently Used file listing in Microsoft Word.
