Don’t keep history of recently opened documents

Many people are fade up of the “recently opened documents”. Whatever files or documents they opened, others can see easily in the “recently opened documents” in the start menu. Normal desktop users don’t know how make it go away. So, this is for them.

1. Go to start menu
2. click ‘run’ and type ‘gpedit.msc’ and enter
3. The group policy opens
4. In the Local Computer -> User Configuration -> Administrative Template select ‘Start Menu and Taskbar’
5. In the right pane, there is an option ‘Do not keep history of recently opened documents’, enable is and click ‘OK’

After enabling this setting, the system doesn’t display shortcuts of recently opened documents. Also try to use another setting just below it called ‘Clear history of recently opened documents’ for deleting all the shortcuts to recently used document files when the user logs off.
