Question

Running XP (Pro SP1)

How can I clear out the Recent Documents list ?

There's now a Recent Documents folder appeared - can I get rid of that ?

I should probably set up a seperate account for the kids

Two ways to do it:

1. Right click on the start bar, Properties, Customise, Clear

2. Quicker is to create a batch file which does:

cd %userprofile%\recent
del *.lnk

Or you can customize your start bar to not show your recent documents.
