正在寻找一种在Windows中删除最近文档列表的方法？你不讨厌Windows(Windows)跟踪了多少东西，比如你在任何程序(ANY program)中打开的所有最近的文档吗？当然(Sure)，大多数时候我不在乎(t care)并让它保持启用状态，但有时您希望数据不可见，即当您在共享计算机或公共计算机上时。
如果您想disable recent documents and remove/clear your most recent documents，这实际上是一个非常简单的过程。从Windows 7(Windows 7)开始，默认情况下从开始菜单(Start Menu)中删除了最新的文档列表，但它仍然存在于跳转列表中。
清除最近的文档 Windows 7 和 8
在Windows 7和 8 中，默认情况下您不会在“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中看到任何最近文档列表；但是，它仍然存在。如果您右键单击“开始菜单(Start Menu)”，选择“属性(Properties)”，单击“开始菜单(Start Menu)”选项卡，然后单击“自定义(Customize)”，您将在底部看到“最近项目”复选框。( Recent Items)
如果选中，那么您将在开始菜单(Start Menu)中看到最近的文档，如下所示：
除了“开始”菜单，如果启用了“最近的项目(Recent Items) ”，当您右键单击任务栏中的程序时，您还将看到最近的文档列表。这称为跳转列表，它基本上包括每个程序的自定义菜单。
现在有两种方法可以在Windows 7及更高版本中从跳转列表或最近文档列表中删除项目：清除跳转列表或完全阻止 Windows(jumplist or prevent Windows)显示任何最近文档。
我已经写了一篇关于如何在Windows 7中清除跳转列表的详细文章，所以请先阅读。但是，这只是暂时清除了跳转列表。打开更多文档后，跳转列表将再次列出最近的文档。
如果您返回启用“最近文档”的“(Recent Documents)自定义(Customize)”对话框，您将在底部看到“开始菜单大小( Start Menu Size)”的两个选项：
我们感兴趣的项目是在 Jump Lists 中显示的最近项目数(Number of recent items to display in Jump Lists)。继续并将其设置为Windows将不再显示最近打开的文档列表。当您右键单击任务栏中的程序时，列表将消失。
然而，这在两个方面有点误导。首先，当我继续打开Word时，我最近的所有文档都列在那里！因此，要真正删除最近文档列表，您必须将其从应用程序本身中清除。
对于Word，打开程序，单击File，然后单击Options。单击左侧菜单(left menu)中的高级(Advanced)并向下滚动，直到看到显示(Display)部分。
在这里，您将看到显示此数量的最近文档( Show this number of Recent Documents)选项。继续将该值更改为 0。现在该列表将从Word本身中消失。
其次，将要在跳转列表中显示的最近项目的数量设置为 0 会产生误导，因为即使您在右键单击时可能看不到列表，Windows仍然会存储历史记录！例如，继续将值从 0 更改回 5 之类的其他值。例如，现在当您右键单击Word时，您会看到列表又回来了！
要防止Windows完全存储历史记录，您必须右键单击Start，再次转到Properties并单击Start Menu选项卡。这次不要点击(t click)自定义！
您将在“隐私”部分(Privacy section)看到“存储”复选框，并在“开始”菜单和任务栏中显示最近打开的项目(Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar)。继续并取消选中该框，现在Windows将不再存储您最近为任何程序打开的文档的历史记录。如前所述，单个程序本身可能存储最近文档的列表，必须手动清除。
清除最近的文档Windows XP 和 Vista(Windows XP & Vista)
我将解释在Windows XP中清除我最近的文档列表的方法，但对于Windows Vista也是如此。因此，这是删除我最近的文档列表的分步指南：
首先，右键单击开始按钮(Start Button)并选择属性(Properties)：
您现在将在开始菜单和任务栏属性(Start Menu and Taskbar properties) 对话框中(dialog box)。您应该已经在“开始菜单”选项卡(Start Menu tab)上。继续并单击“自定义(Customize)”按钮。
您现在应该正在查看“自定义开始菜单(Customize Start Menu) ”对话框(dialog box)。继续并单击“高级(Advanced)”选项卡。
在底部，您会看到一个名为“最近的文档”(Recent Documents)的部分。单击(Click)清除列表(List)以清除最近的文档列表。如果您根本不希望Windows记录您最近的文档，请取消选中列出我最近打开的文档( List my most recently opened documents)框。而已！
现在，“开始”菜单(Start Menu)上最近文档的选项将被删除，并且不会记录任何内容！如果您有任何问题，请发表评论！享受！
How to Clear or Delete My Recent Documents in Windows
Looking for a way to delete the recent documents list in Wіndows? Don’t you hate how mаny things Windows tracks, like all of the recent docυments you have opened in ANY program? Sure, most оf the time I don’t carе and leave it enabled, but there are times when yоu would rather that data not be viѕible, i.e. whеn you are on a shаred cоmputer or a public computer.
If you want to disable recent documents and remove/clear your most recent documents, it’s actually a pretty simple process. The most recent list of documents was removed by default from the Start Menu starting in Windows 7, but it still exists in the jumplist.
Clear Recent Documents Windows 7 & 8
In Windows 7 and 8, you won’t see any list of recent documents by default in the Start Menu; however, it does still exist. If you right-click on the Start Menu, choose Properties, click on the Start Menu tab and then click on Customize, you’ll see a checkbox for Recent Items towards the bottom.
If that is checked, then you will see the recent documents in the Start Menu like shown below:
In addition to the Start menu, if Recent Items is enabled, you’ll also see the list of recent documents when you right-click on a program in the taskbar. This is called the jumplist and it basically includes a customized menu for each program.
Now there are two ways to get rid of items from a jumplist or from the list of recent documents in Windows 7 and higher: either clear the jumplist or prevent Windows from showing any recent documents at all.
I have already written a detailed post on how to clear jumplists in Windows 7, so read that first. However, that just temporarily clears the jumplist. Once you open more documents, the jumplist will again list out recent documents.
If you go back to the Customize dialog where you enabled Recent Documents, you’ll see two options at the bottom for Start Menu Size:
The item we are interested in is Number of recent items to display in Jump Lists. Go ahead and set that to and Windows will no longer show the list of recently opened documents. When you right-click on a program from your taskbar, the list will be gone.
However, this is a bit misleading in two ways. Firstly, when I went ahead and opened Word, all of my recent documents were listed there! So to truly remove the list of recent documents, you have to clear it from the application itself.
For Word, open the program, click on File and then Options. Click on Advanced in the left menu and scroll down till you see the Display section.
Here you will see the Show this number of Recent Documents option. Go ahead and change that value to 0. Now the list will be gone from Word itself.
Secondly, setting the number of recent items to display in jump lists to 0 is misleading because even though you may not see the list anymore when you right-click, Windows is still storing the history! For example, go ahead and change the value back from 0 to something else like 5. Now when you right-click on Word, for example, you’ll see the list is back!
To prevent Windows from storing the history altogether, you have to right-click on Start, go to Properties again and click on the Start Menu tab. This time don’t click on Customize!
You will see under the Privacy section a checkbox for Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar. Go ahead and uncheck that box and now Windows will no longer store the history of your recently opened documents for any program. As mentioned before, the individual program itself may store a list of recent documents, which has to be cleared manually.
Clear Recent Documents Windows XP & Vista
I’m going to explain the method for clearing the my recent documents list in Windows XP, but the same holds true for Windows Vista. So here’s a step by step guide to deleting your my recent documents list:
First, right-click on the Start Button and choose Properties:
You’ll now be in the Start Menu and Taskbar properties dialog box. You should already be on the Start Menu tab. Go ahead and click on the Customize button.
You should now be viewing the Customize Start Menu dialog box. Go ahead and click on the Advanced tab.
At the bottom, you’ll see a section called Recent Documents. Click Clear List to clear the most recent list of documents. If you do not want Windows to record your recent documents at all, uncheck the List my most recently opened documents box. That’s it!
Now the option on the Start Menu for most recent documents will be removed and nothing will be recorded! If you have any questions, post a comment! Enjoy!
