Empty “My Recent Documents” Automatically on Log off
Posted in Random by Dan at 10:30 am
Did you know that Windows XP keeps shortcuts to the documents that you opened recently? It is certainly convenient, but could make it easy for other user users of the computer to spy on you. Here’s how to empty the “My Recent Documents” automatically when you log off your computer
* Click Start > Run > Type in regedit
* In the Registry editor navigate to the following key:
HKEY_Current_User > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer
* Right click on the Right Pane > New > Dword Value & name it as ClearRecentDocsOnExit
* Double Clcik on it and set the value to 1
Simplish, right? To revert the hack back either delete the Dword value or set the value to 0
