Windows Media Player 11 - Clear the Player History

By default, Windows Media Player 11 keeps a history of the most recently-accessed multimedia files. You can see this history by accessing the file menu - click "Alt", then "F", and read the entries at the bottom of the menu.

For privacy reasons, especially if you share your computer with others, you may not want this history to be kept. To disable this feature, do the following:

1. Press "Alt", "T", and then "O" to access the Options menu.

2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select the "Privacy" tab.
