"Clear Recent Items List" is missing

When I right-click on Recent Items there is no option "Clear Recent
Items List".

Thank you for any help with this.

Cheers,
Marty

Maybe someone here (Brink?) can help you get that context menu option back.

In the mean time, if you right-click on "Recent Items", and then selct Explore or Open, it will open a Windows Explorer window that show all the shortcuts that appear in that list. From there, you can click Organize->Select All and then Organize->Delete to clear the Recent Items list.
