Q: You know, the one when you click Start . it says: “Documents”, and it has the past 15 or so documents you use. I want to get rid of the thing all together, so that documents do not even show on the Start menu. Is there a way I can do this?
Re:I found the way to do it, just incase anyone ever searches for the answer to this:
1. Open Regedit
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
3. Create a new DWORD value called NoRecentDocsMenu.
4. Modify the new key and change the value to 1
5. Exit Regedit and restart your computer.
Re:Get MS PowerToys for XP. MS took it down but you can find it easily. Even the older version should do the trick (win2k version or older).
I meant TweakUI included in the powertoys. The older version is a stand-alone application.
Re:Sorry, I should of specified this but I didn't know it made a difference.. i'm using the Classic start menu.. your method only works with the new XP start menu.
Re:guy, your quicker than this old man..
Re:Right click the start button, and select properties, select coustomize, select advanced,and at the bottom deselect the box which says "List my most recently opened documents" and apply.. all fixed
