I don't want the recent documents list on the start menu. With xp pro,
it's easy using gpedit. Won't work with xp home. Gpedit is too
diluted.

>From what I've seen at the Microsoft site, to accomplish this using
other methods is somewhat timely and involves manually editing the
registry. This seems unnecessary because, as I said with xp pro,
there's an easy way to do it which only involves checking a box. No
restarts, no extra backing up, no risk.

If it can't be done in xp home any easier than that, then I'll just
check the "clear recent docs" before I log off using the right click
start menu method.
