Clean up "Recently Viewed" in Windows 7

Especially if others are using your computer you will want to do this. It will
protect you from others finding your files that you don't want them snooping into...a little bit anyhow...real geeks can find and do anything so be careful of who is using your computer!


1. Go to Start menu, and type gpedit.msc in the search line and press Enter.

2. If prompted by UAC, click on Continue.

3. Now go to this folder : User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar.

4. once you got to this folder, you will find 'Clear history of recently opened documents on exit' in the right pane, just double click on it.

5. Select the Enabled option and click Ok.

6. Close the Local group Policy Editor and you are done.
