See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Normally you can right-click on the Taskbar, hit "Start Menu Programs", and hit "Clear Documents Menu" to clear it. But it will just fill up as you work with Win95. MS has a Power Toy that clears this folder on exit. TweakUI 1.1 includes this feature. Try that before you try any of the hacks below. There's a Registry Hack that relocates the Documents menu (the RECENT folder) to the Recycle Bin, and if you have "Remove immediately" turned on it will keep that menu clean, but there IS a safer way. In AUTOEXEC.BAT include this line: DEL %WINDIR%\RECENT\*.* An even more effective way to keep the documents menu clean, and still enjoy its functionality during a single Win95 session, is to insert a command into System Agent, if you have MS Plus! installed. Write a batch file with the above command in it, then add it into System Agent. Schedule it to run "On Startup". This method won't work if you use User Profiles, but there's a work-around for that if you used WINSET to copy the %USERNAME% variable. Use this style of batch file instead: DEL %WINDIR%\PROFILES\%USERNAME%\RECENT\*.* NOTE: DOS programs run from System Agent should have "Background: Always Suspend" turned OFF! Also, instead of inserting the program itself into System Agent, insert its PIF file instead. Additional NOTE: You can run PIF files from the Registry, from load= in WIN.INI, or in the startup group as well, in case you don't have System Agent.
