My Recent Items button on the Start Menu has an odd problem. Instead of
displaying the 15 most recent items, it displays the first 15 items from the
Recent folder in alphabetical order. Needless to say, after a few days of
use, the Recent Items button becomes useless because it's clogged with items
that are alphabetically prior to more recently viewed items. I don't know
when this problem started, since I only started trying to use the Recent
Items button about a week ago.

Anyone know how to fix this?

It you want to delete the Recent Items go here line Line 20.

This script will delete the Recent Item list.

folder:

Did you download a file to your desktop or download folder?? Called
DeleteRecentList.js, just double click on the file like any other file.
