Is there a way to prevent certain document types (certain extensions) from appearing in the recent folder? It is set to “Read Only” and documents are still appearing there.
This doesn’t directly answer your question, but if you go search for a tool called TweakUI (a set of utility tools for the various windows platforms), there’s an option in there that will clear the recent documents folder on logon.
Not exactly what you were looking for, I know, but it’s a start, eh?
I haven’t been able to find a version of TweakUI that works on Windows XP. Is there one, or something comparable?
You can download it from here.
