Recent Documents
I create files and save them in "New Briefcase"
The problem is they also end up in "My Recent Documents" I delete them and they still return. How can I solve this problem? I'm using Windows XP Pro.and a Dell Inspiron computer. thanks pete |

You'll find these shortcuts in C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Recent Documents (which on here is a half-hidden folder - it appears in the right pane but not the left). You can delete them if you wish; not a bad idea to delete all but a few, since Recent only shows the x most recent anyway. (I'm not sure what x is; I think it can be amended.) When you save a file from many (possibly all) applications, a new "Recent" shortcut is created anyway. They're actually useful in that they go direct to documents you've recently been working on, however deep in the directory (folder) tree you put them. -- J. P. Gilliver.
