Question: I am using Windows XP and found that the "Documents" in the "Start" menu always has a record of the files I have opened recently. It is easy for others to see what files I have opened, and I feel that it will reveal my privacy. If I don't need to install a third-party tool, how can I prevent "Documents" in the "Start" menu from saving records of files I have opened?
Answer: Are you using the classic "Start" menu mode? Because if you are using the default start menu, that place is called "My Recent Documents". To solve this problem, you only need to right-click the "Start" button in the lower left corner, select "Properties→Start Menu→Customize→Advanced Options", and uncheck "List my recently opened documents". .
If you want the system to never record, you can also set it in the registry, locate "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer", create a new DWORD value named "NoRecentDocsHistory", and then modify the value to ten Hexadecimal "1", the system will no longer record "My Recent Documents" after restarting.
