Start Menu-removing Documents
I recently had to reload XP Pro. I did have "Documents" deleted from the
Start Menu by changing something in the registry, by I can't remember how I did It. Can anyone refresh my memory? Thanks. Stu |

Start Menu-removing Documents
I'm using the Classic Start Menu. Even if I switch to the regular start
menu, what you described only removes "My Documents" not "My Recent Documents" which is what I'm trying to remove. I know it can be done through the registry, I've done it before.

Stu The easiest way to accomplish your goal is to download and run this registry fix. Line 16, right hand column, Add Recent Documents to the Classic Menu http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm After running this registry fix, right click your Taskbar and select Properties from the menu. Click on the Start menu tab and hit the Customize button next to Classic Start Menu. In the Advanced Start menu options box you'll now see a new section titled Recent Documents Menu. If you don't want to see the documents you've opened recently listed check "Don't Add to Documents Menu". If you want to remove the Documents entry from the menu check "Hide Documents Menu". Click OK twice. Here's an article you may find helpful if you prefer to edit the registry yourself. Disable Recent Documents History http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/545/ If you're trying to remove the Documents entry in its entirety from the classic Start menu you need to have a value in the same registry key named NoRecentDocsMenu set to 1. Keep in mind that you may need to log off and back on for the changes to occur. Good luck Nepatsfan |
