Is there a way to stop My Documents from showing shortcuts to recently
opened documents on the Start Menu? There are times that I open notepad docs
that I don't want displayed. I know how to delete these items but I want to
prevent them from being created.

Where do I find the EditFlags reg_binary value for this file type in the
registry?

You can change the EditFlags reg_binary value for the file type.

FTA_NoRecentDocs (0x00100000)

Take a look in;

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile

Should have said Reg_DWord, I currently have 0x0001000 (FTA_OpenIsSafe), you
want to add 0x0010000 (FTA_NoRecentDocs) to it.

0x0001000 hex = 65536 dec
0x0010000 hex = 1048576 dec
65536 + 1048576 = 1114112
1114112 dec = 0x0011000 hex

Yes, add a Reg_DWord named 'EditFlags' with value of 0x00100000 hex or
1048576 decimal

Do I need to reboot for this to take effect? I just added a Reg_DWord and
new txt files are still showing up under My Documents.

It didn't work. I may not have added the reg key properly.

Dave Patrick said:
More than likely.
