Does anyone know how to disable the Recent documents list
in the XP Pro Registry?
Thanks

Right-click the Start button, and then click Properties.
On the Start Menu tab, click Start menu, and then click Customize.
On the Advanced tab, UNselect the List my most recently opened documents
check box.

Wes ... your approach best suits my objectives - I like
to learn things as I go, and, although I appreciate the
suggestions to use winguides.com/tweak/ & kellys-korner-
xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, I got more out of your suggestion
Wes. Thanks a bunch eh? Kevin
