Documents shown

[Guest]

When I click on Start, Documents, it shows the last 15 documents I used. For
privacy reasons I want to be able to delete what is shown (without deleting
the file, only deleting what it shows) and maybe stop it from keeping or
showing the record. Please help. WinXP home.

To clear the My Recent Documents list, follow these steps:
1. Right-click Start, and then click Properties. Or, if the Start menu is
already displayed, right-click an empty area of the Start menu and then
click Properties.
2. Click Customize.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Recent documents, click Clear List, click OK and then click OK.
Your most recently used documents are removed from the My Recent Documents
folder. Note that this action does not delete the documents from your hard
disk.

To *NOT* show your most recently used documents on the Start menu
1 Right-click the Start button and then click Properties.
2 On the Start Menu tab, click Start menu and then click Customize.
3 On the Advanced tab, UNSelect the List my most recently opened documents
check box.
