You will notice on your start menu that it shows a list of programs you have recently used or opened. This can be handy if you regularly use that program (ie word), but some people on public computers would rather not let everyone know what programs they have been using.

You can easily remove this list of recently used programs from your start menu;

  • Right click your taskbar
  • Click properties
  • Select the start menu tab
  • Uncheck “store and display a list of recently opened programs”
  • Apply and OK
  • Done
