Recent Items Tab

When you click this tab it shows you the recent items you have opened or
used. You use to be able to clear that in windows 2000 and older versions.
Can you clear this in vista ?

Re: Recent Items Tab

Hello Bill,

I'm not sure of what tab you mean, but this may be able to help you.

Recent Items List - Clear History

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Well firstly that's not a TAB, and secondly, most Office applications
ALSO have "recent items", so you see it could have been anything....

If you right-click on "Recent Items" there's an option to "clear recent
items"....

Re: Recent Items Tab

Did you right-click on it?
I'm running Win7, but has the option to "clear the recent items list"
I think Vista did too.
