The XP start menu has a section where recently-run programs add
themselves. Normally I don't mind this because it makes them easy to
run again if I want to. But I'd like to change this behavior in two
ways:
First, I'd like some programs never to be added to the menu, even when
I run them. An example is Acrobat Reader, which I _never_ run from
the Start menu, but only by clicking on a .pdf file, so I never want
it to be in the menu.
Second, some programs -- Word and Excel are among them -- get added to
this recently-used section when I run them, even though they are
already in the regular, permanent part of the menu. I don't need two
copies of them and I'd like to prevent this from happening.
Can anybody help me do either of these? Thanks
