How do I stop recently opened programs sticking to the start menu?

Hi, I like a clean start menu and the only thing I have on it is Mozilla Firefox. Whenever I open a program, it automatically appears on it and I have to manually remove it, it's really annoying. Is there any way of stopping things automatically going there?

Here's an example;

I have Mozilla Firefox at the top and nothing else, when I open WinRar, it automatically goes there and I have to remove it.

right-click start button/orb >> properties >> customize>> number of recent programs to display

*edit* dwarf got there first

Take a look at these Tutorials:

Start Menu - Change Number of Recent Programs to Display
Recent Programs - Turn On or Off

Thank you :)
