I do not wish people to know what documents I have opened
on my computer. This is listed in "My Recent Documents"
list. Can anybody tell me how to remove this default
list? I have done it on Win98 but I do not know where
this function is in WinXP.

Thanks

right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
