Disable Recent Documents History to Boot Windows Faster, Also Maintain Your Privacy
The Recent Documents folder on the Windows XP Start menu displays a list of files and documents that you most recently used. But if you are not using this feature, it is best to disable it since it will reduce the time it takes to boot Windows plus when you are sharing the computer, you won’t leave any tracks behind.Note: This should work on Vista & 7 as well, though I have not tried it.
Here’s how to disable the recent documents history:
1]- Type regedit in the Start/Run window.
2]- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
3]- Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value of NoRecentDocsHistory by double clicking.
4]- Set the Data Value to 1. Save the value and close the registry editor.
The next time you start Windows, your recent documents folder would remain empty and won’t track your open documents; Windows will Boot faster and all your sessions on the PC will have 100% privacy.
