Well, clear it first, I guess, the way you said. Then...
"START button, Run, RegEdit", & navigate to... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Exp lorer That is... (a) Click plus signs, beginning at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" & ending with "Policies". (b) Click "Explorer" in the left pane. (c) R-Clk the R-Pane, & select "New, Binary Value", & name it... "NoRecentDocsMenu", without the quotes. (d) R-Clk "NoRecentDocsMenu" in the R-Pane, & select "Modify". (e) Type the value: 01 00 00 00, & hit ENTER. (f) Condider doing the same (from step c) for "NoRecentDocsHistory". (g) Exit, & it may be necessary to reboot. To reverse the action, R-Clk it, select "Modify", delete the "01", & type "00", so that it looks like... NoRecentDocsMenu 00 00 00 00 WARNING: Do not get carried away in the Registry. It is very important to the proper functioning of Windows. Muss it badly, & you must boot to DOS & "Scanreg /Restore". Then, choose the date of the last successful boot from the five offered.

NoSetFolders To disable Control Panel and Printer folders. NoTrayContextMenu To disable Taskbar context menu. NoViewContextMenu To disable (all?) context menus.

You are welcome. If it blows you up, I DO recall the name of the one I
got that from. It was (Bicycle) Rob! BUT, apparently he has already been assassinated! -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "BOB" wrote in message ... | PCR, THX YOU for the excellent/clear response I really appreciate it. | -- | BOB | | | "PCR" wrote: | | Well, clear it first, I guess, the way you said.
