Removing Recent docs in Classic Start-Menu

[Marthax]

Hi all!

So, does anyone know how to do it?

I've tried using this registry tweak

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
;"NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001

but that will remove the recent documents in the new start menu. It doesn't work for the classic one. What do I do to remove it in the Classic Start Menu?

Thanks in advance!

You have to remove the semicolon at the beginning of the second line, cause everything after a semicolon is ignored in a registry file ( the semicolon is the character to insert comments ).

If this doesn't work, have a try with

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"Start_ShowRecentDocs"=dword:00000002

try this is working for me

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]"NoRecentDocsHistory"=dword:00000001

"ClearRecentDocsOnExit"=dword:00000001

But then you set it for all users and not only for current user

Just remember if you install hardware or software and it tell you that you need to reboot do not run this app,because there will be files in the temp folder the install will need. You can set it up any way you want.
