Cloudchaser,
You can right-click the Taskbar to disable them but I always use the registry
way:
START | RUN | Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER
Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Create a sub key under POLICIES on the left called 'Explorer' (without quotes)
Highlight the newly created 'Explorer' key & in the right pane, create this:
Key Name: NoRecentDocsHistory
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 0 = Enable History, 1 = Disable History
If there are any existing entries in that folder they will stay there so you
have to delete them or you could create one more registry key to do it for you:
Key Name: ClearRecentDocsOnExit
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 0 = Disable Cleaning on Shutdown, 1 = Enable Cleaning on Shutdown
Exit the registry editor
----------------------------------------
About the directory under the System32 folder:
I wouldn't delete anything from there unless 100% sure there are no
consequences. What you could do, but I am not recommending you do is right-click
that directory, 'security' tab & 'deny' write permissions to that folder on all
accounts (including system)
