Disabling latest Documents??

[NumbaJuan]

In Win XP when I click on Start and then Documents, a list of fifteen or so of my latest viewed Docs appear. I know there is a way to disable this but can?t seem to remember. Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

[tooltime]

r click start, properties, start menu tab, customize, advanced tab, remove check in box for 'list my most recently opened documents'

Sorry about the other post
If it matters to you, mearly unchecking the box won't disable the feature... The easiest way i know of completely disabling it is to download TweakUI and disable Recent Files from there... Otherwise they will still be created, just not shown... With tweakUI the files aren't kept at all....

you can also set a group policy or set a registry entry. Since it's a single machine tweakui is probably going to be your easiest bet.

Can?t seem to find Disable Recent Files in TweakUI. Tell ya the truth I don?t remember downloading anything last time that I did this. I?ll keep looking, thanks for the help.

Under Clasic Start Menu I don't have that option

I also unchecked Maintain Document History ...... now I don't even have the Document tab! I love it.

Thanks for the help!

start, run, type' gpedit.msc

then go under: local computer policy, user cofiguration, administrative templates, start menu & taskbar

modify the policy for: do not keephistory of recently opened documents.

this also makes it so programs dont rememer recent files either.
