Disabling Recent Documents History in Windows

Unknown | 09:44 |

The bad thing about Recent Documents History is that Windows XP has to calculate what should be put there each time you boot Windows, which can slow things down.

1. Open the Registry Editor (select Start/Run, type regedit, and click OK).

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

3. Create a NoRecentDocsHistory D_WORD key. Double-click the value to open it once it is created.

        To create DWORD, you need to right click on the right pane then select New -> DWORD value




4. Set the Data Value to 1 to enable the restriction.

        To set the value, double click the created DWORD then enter the value as shown in the image below




5. Click OK and close the Registry Editor. You'll need to restart the computer for the change to take effect.
