How do you control the number of items found in the RECENT
folder in a profile?
There is a Group Policy that can be Enabled to "Clear history of recently opened
documents on exit". If your computer is part of a corporate network I suggest that
you discuss this issue with your network administrator. If this is your standalone
home computer do the following to enable the policy:
- Log on as an Administrator, or a member of the Administrators group
- Click Start, click Run, type the following command and click OK: gpedit.msc
- Navigate to the following policy:
User Configuration | Administrative Template | Start Menu & Taskbar:
- Enable the "Clear history of recently opened documents on exit" policy
(read the text on the Explain tab for more information).
If you have never used gpedit.msc and the computer in question is a standalone home
computer, keep in mind that policies set using Administrative Templates will effect
all users of the computer (including Administrators). For more information see the
following Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles:
KB218601 - Local Group Policy Objects Cannot Be Set on a Per-User Basis

KB293655 - How to Apply Local Policies to all Users Except
Administrators on Windows 2000 in a Workgroup Setting
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=293655
And if you have any questions specific to Group Policy, I suggest that you post in
the following newsgroup: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy
To limit the number of links I think you would have to write, and use, a logoff
script. I cannot help you with that, however maybe the experts in any of the
following scripting newsgroups could:
microsoft.public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin
microsoft.public.scripting.wsh
microsoft.public.scripting.vbs
