How to delete folder items from the recently viewed list in the start menu
The recent items folder in Windows Vista stores a record of all the files you have recently viewed on your computer. You might have created a document or saved a picture, and it will all be there for anyone to view on the list. The recent items folder traces every move you make when it comes to files. You might only change one word in a document and this file will show up on the recent items list.
Where is the recent items list and how do I view it?
To get a quick look at the recent items list you can simply open the start menu and hover your mouse over the recent items link. As shown in the screenshot below, all the recent files that have been accessed on the computer show up. It does not show where you have been on the internet because the recent items only shows files you have accessed.
If you click on any of these files they will open. No need to search for them. This is a great feature if you always want to find what you have been working on recently, however it is not good in the way of privacy.
