7/13    In NT, is there a way to make the Start->Document menu never show any
        documents, ie. keep it always empty?  Thx.
        \_ Yes.  Delete files in [nt_dir]\profiles\[user_name]\recent\
           directory.  In Win 9X, delete * in [win_dir]\recent\ dir.
        \_ And for kicks create a batch file that deletes them as part of the
           login process.  Or you could be sneak and change the registry to
           point the start->document directory at the trash bin directory.
        \_ If you get the TweakUI control panel, you can remove the documents
           menu from the start menu or have it cleared every time someone logs
           in.
           \_ But is there a way to prevent items to be added to the menu in
              in the first place?
                \_ Make an 'at' job that wipes it every 5 minutes.  I don't
                   know of a registry hack that prevents their being created.
                   Try setting the save directory to NUL: maybe.  Just
                   guessing on that one.
