    clearing jump lists


    Hi,

    This may be a stupid question, but how do you clear the jump lists in Windows 7? Before, one would clear the "Recent" folder under

    Documents and Settings > USERNAME > RECENT

    Or the equivalent in Vista.

    How can this be accomplished in Windows 7?

    I don't know if there is a way to clear them, as you wish, but you can prevent them starting.
    Right click the Start orb and select properties.
    You can untick both items under the Start Menu tab, if that suits.
    Click customise.
    Now, if you scroll down, there are a couple of options there to make your menu cleaner.
    1. Default Programs
    2. Highlite newly installed programs
    3. Recent items
