Text: Clear history of recently opened documents on exit. If you enable this setting, the system deletes shortcuts to recently used document files when the user logs off. As a result, the Documents menu on the Start menu is always empty when the user logs on. If you disable or do not configure this setting, the system retains document shortcuts, and when a user logs on the Documents menu appears just as it did when the user logged off. Note: The system saves document shortcuts in the user profile in the System-drive\Documents and Settings\User-name\Recent folder. Also, see the Remove Documents menu from Start Menu and Do not keep history of recently opened documents policies in this folder. The system only uses this setting when neither of these related settings are selected. This setting does not clear the list of recent files that Windows programs display at the bottom of the File menu. See the Do not keep history of recently opened documents setting. This policy setting also does not hide document shortcuts displayed in the Open dialog box. See the Hide the dropdown list of recent files setting. |
