How to clean recent documents and access in batch mode

Hi,

Everybody knows that windows 2000 or XP keeps track of recent documents and accesses.

I would like to know if there is any way to clean that automatically at reboot or in batch mode. I know that i can do that using the "Clear list" button, but i need anything more "automatic".

We need to clean the following:

- Recent Documents

- Recent accesses (for example when your run programs from statrt -> run)

Regards,

Pebeto

How to clean recent documents and access in batch mode

    Hi,

    The recent docs and start\run info is stored in Registry under the hive HKCU:

    • Recent Docs -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs
    • Start\RUN -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RumMRU

    You could try clearing the values inside the reg keys. Watch out for security permissions to access these keys.

    NOTE: RUN ON YOUR OWN RISK. No warranties and support.
