The next Tip and Trick is one for Windows XP and probably especially handy when you are working in a public place like your office.

If you are working in Windows XP and you click on start you’ll probably see the “My Recent Document” folder. This folder shows you on which documents you have worked recently. This is here for you so that you can easily access your last worked on documents. But everyone who can access your computer can view this list.

If you want to have a clean My Recent Document list in Windows XP you’ll need to take the following steps.

Click on Start.
Then Right click on an empty area of the Start menu.
Select Properties.

Now open the Start Menu tab
Select Customise

The Window Customize Start Menu should have appeared and now you need to open the advanced tab.

You can now click on Clear List and your recent document list is empty. You can also unmark the checkbox and have it set at zero documents permanent.
