Delete My Recent Documents List

Microsoft Windows keeps a record of every document that you open on your computer and stores them in a list. Originally created to make finding files more convenient, this list can be easily accessed from the Start menu (click on Start, then Documents).

But this also means that anyone who has access to your computer can see this list and directly link to any of the items that you’ve opened.

Simply open PC Confidential and:

---

1. Press button labeled Delete My Temporary Files (on the left hand side of the screen)
2. Then check the box marked Scan Recent Documents List
3. Press Scan Now and this list will be scanned.
4. Once your Recent Document scan is complete, a Privacy Report will appear with your results.
5. To delete, press Delete All
   

Stop:

If you’d like to stop scanning your Temporary Files selections, simply press Stop.

After you press Scan Now, you’ll notice a scrolling list in the My Results section. This is a list of everything that is being scanned (in this case, the results could include recent documents list, Windows temporary files, Recycle Bin contents, file search history and Windows Explorer History). Once the scan is complete, you will also see a total number of scanned results.
