Delete the List of Recently Accessed Documents

SUMMARY: Cover your tracks by removing the list of recently accessed files in Windows 2000.

Are you sharing a PC and need a quick way to delete the list of recently accessed web sites, images, or documents from your machine before you hand it off?

1. Right-click on an empty area of your taskbar and choose "Properties".
2. On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, click the "Advanced" tab.
3. Now, click the "Clear" button next to the trashcan.
4. Press "OK" to close the dialog box.

Note that this doesn't guarantee that someone who knows what they're doing can't find out what you have been using on the shared machine, but this tip may work for most people.
