How do I get rid of the last viewed documents in the start menu?

I want to get rid of this feature for security, thanks

You mean the documents thingy?

Settings-->taskbar & start menu---> Advanced--> Clear

 

[novon]

Is there a way to get rid of the feature all together? Registery hack?

I believe if you

Start - Taskbar - Start menu - [Options or something], this could be way off.. im on a Linux machine now and cant open a windows.

It will have a place where you can clear the documents list in the start menu.

Is this 98 or 2k?
If its a 2k box you can do this through group policy

Or download and install tweakui.. that is one of the features is has as well as others for covering your tracks.........

In XP: Right click the start button, choose properties. Click the customize button, choose the advanced tab and uncheck "list my most recently opened documents". You're done.
