How to clear or delete the ‘My Recent Documents’ list from the start menu? This is perhaps the worst feature Microsoft ever introduce, I don’t see a need for this privacy invasion feature. Imagine to your horror someone going through your list of recent opened documents in your hidden folder? [Learn how to hide and password protect your files]
So, how do I go about deleting the my recent documents menu list and disable the ‘My Recent Documents’ feature from Windows XP and Vista?
Click on the ‘Start’ button, right click anywhere that is not active as shown in the screenshot above, a ‘property’ menu will appear.
A window will appear titled ‘Task Bar and Start Menu Properties’, click on the ‘Start Menu’ tab, select the ‘Customize’ button, another new windows will appear, click on the ‘advanced’ tab, then uncheck the ‘List my most recently opened documents’ (step 3). When you’re done, click on the ‘Clear list’ (step 4) button, then click on the ‘Ok’ button (step 5) to save the settings.
There you go, simple as that, Windows no longer save a list of recently opened files. Your privacy is safe now!
