Clearing the Documents Menu Automatically


The Documents Menu on your Start Menu displays recently opened files. You can have the Registry clear the contents of this list every time Windows starts. Only do #1 if you are comfortable with not being able to store files in your Recycle Bin. This mod tells Windows to store the shortcuts it makes to recent documents in the Recycle Bin, thus deleting them.
1. Set the properties on the Recycle Bin to delete files immediately.
2. HKey_Current_User \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ User Shell Folders
3. If there is no string named 'Recent', create a new string named "Recent" 4. Modify it's value to C:\RECYCLED
