I discovered today that you can set the number of items shown in the Most Recently Used (MRU) list for CRM 4.0's Outlook Client. The default setting is 7 items and I find it just doesn't work for me.

Add the following reg key to our client machine:

Location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSCRMClient
Value Name: MaxRegardingObjectListCount
Type: REG_DWORD

Here is a reg patch for those that love their *.reg files. This patch sets it to 50 items (ie. 32 in hex).
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSCRMClient]
"MaxRegardingObjectListCount"=dword:00000032

Warning: Modifying the registry is dangerous. If you don't know what you are doing them don't attempt it. Ask one of your parents to help out.

The following screenshot shows this config in action. I've blurred the data out for the usual reasons.
