(also in XP too.) Folder is c:\users\username\Recent The username is your log on name ie c:\users\fred\Recent Recent is a hidden file but will display when you give the path correctly. In the directory(folder) you will see your list of temp files. Just delete the short cuts :-) Hope this helps you. www.doctoremote.co.uk - www.taghosting.co.uk In any version of vista the history of search and used files and docs is held in a shortcut folder.

How I solved this was right-clicking the Start Pearl and selecting Properties. Under the Start Menu tab you can deselect "Store and display a list of recently displayed files" and "Store and display a list of recently displayed programs." After applying this you'll still have the recent items button in your start menu. Right click it and send it to the trash. To make sure that everything is deleted, search for "recent items" in your start menu and delete the folder. I hope this helps. I, too, could not find gpedit.msc in Vista Home Premium.
