    Recent Items: How to remove them?


    Hi all, I've got some sensitive personal material on my PC that are in .DOC files.

    I just wanted to know how I can remove this "Recent items" feature so that my .DOC files do not appear.

    Thank you for any help!

    If you don't want to turn off this feature then delete everything under:
    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
