I use an old program:

....but it gets the job done

Or go into registry editor and make a DWORD named NoRecentDocsHistory with value 1 in the following entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

I wud recommend not going into the registry unless u know what u r doing. U muck anything up and u'll have 2 re-install windows.

Run that program from that site.
