MORE INFORMATION

To add documents to the Documents menu, follow these steps:

1. Using Windows Explorer, open the Windows\Recent folder.

2. Add shortcuts to the documents you want.

   NOTE: To add a shortcut to the Recent folder, use the right mouse button to click an empty area in the folder, point to New on the menu that appears, and then click Shortcut. This starts the Create Shortcut Wizard to help you create a shortcut. Creating shortcuts in the Recent folder by copying an existing shortcut to the folder or by using the right mouse button to drag a document to the folder does not cause the document to appear on the Documents menu. You must use the Create Shortcut Wizard.

3. Close the folder.

1. Use the right mouse button to click an empty spot on the taskbar, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.

2. On the Start Menu Programs tab, click Clear.

3. Click OK.
