Way to not store last Documents opened?

When you click on Start below Programs is the Documents option which then
lists the last 10 or 15 documents opened (of any file type). I know how to
clear it manually in Settings but is there a way to stop Windows from even
compiling this list?

I'm running Win ME...yea yea I know I'm a little out of date...but it does
what I need of it.

TIA!

Probably the easiest way is to use TweakUI and check the box "Clear
Document history at logon" on the paranoia tab.

If you haven't got TweakUI the Win Me compatible version (1.33) can be
downloaded from Microsoft
(http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../nttweakui.asp)
and installed as follows:

Download to a folder with a short name (e.g. C:\Tweak), run to extract
components, right click on tweakui.inf and then install, close the help
window that comes up to allow install to finish. C:\Tweak can now be
deleted and TweakUI accessed via the Control Panel.

Just a few words of caution if you are new to using TweakUI on Win Me.
a) Do not change the first icon (My Documents) on the Desktop tab.
Doing this causes a number of script errors in Special Folders when using
either WebView or Active desktop.
b) Do not uncheck "Search Results" on the Desktop tab.
Doing this disables the Search in Explorer.
c) Do not hide the TweakUI icon on the Control Panel tab.
d) Do not uncheck "Show Control Panel on Start Menu" on the IE tab.
Doing this will prevent you from accessing the Control Panel including
TweakUI.
e) Do not uncheck "Shell Enhancements" on the IE tab.
This causes quite a few unexpected "problems".

Ringo, the 'simplest' way is to use TweakUI

On the IE tab, uncheck the "Add new documents to Documents on Start Menu"
box.

You can download TweakUI from Microsoft at :-
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstati.../nttweakui.asp
Be sure to read the installation instructions carefully!

Following warnings/notes reproduced with acknowledgement to the late
Koldbear

1) Do *not* change the first icon from "My Documents" on the Desktop tab
2) Do *not* uncheck: Search Results on the Desktop tab
3) Do *not* hide the Tweak UI icon on the Control Panel tab
4) Do *not* uncheck: Show Control Panel on Start Menu on the IE tab
5) Do *not* uncheck: Shell enhancements on the IE tab
6) To move "My Documents" folder, right-click on the Folder, and click
Properties.

Use Tweak to remove Documents from the start menu.
