Is there any way in windows 7 to clear the history of recently opened files? Everytime I do a 'save as' in any program, it brings up a list of previously opened files. Is there any way to clear this? Thanks!

The easiest way is to use CCleaner. There is separate setting that cleans it out.

I'm not clear on what you're seeing. When I do a save as, in say, Word, I don't see a list of previous files. Where are you seeing this?

I appreciate it, but the problem got solved. However, it was showing up in the open, save as, save, and open with fields.
