Can someone explain how to clear the 15 most recent "My
Recent Documents" files in the Start Menu please?
 
To remove the record of recently accessed documents:

Right-click Start, click Properties, and then click Customize.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Clear List. If you're using the
Classic Start menu, click Clear.
Clicking Clear List empties the My Recent Documents folder.

If you don't want to include anything in the My Recent Documents folder:
On the Advanced tab, click Customize, and then clear the List my most
recently opened documents check box.

Handy utility to do this. Use MRUClean (~40k) and clear the entries.

Excel, Word, Winzip, Real Player, Google Toolbar history, Netmeeting Call
