'my Recent Documents'

[Coldicote]

My computer recently had to go away for repair. Now when I go to Start I see a heading ‘My Recent Documents’ which I hadn’t noticed before and it opens to show a long list of recent docs and emails and JPGs. I tried deleting each item separately but they all reappeared. Please, how do I clear that list, or control it?

I would guess that whoever repaired your computer has made a copy and a new file of all your old data. Emails, downloads, pictures etc.

Right click on the Start Icon and select properties. On the Start menu tab remove the 'tick' from 'Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and taskbar'. Click Apply and OK.

Thanks for your replies. SlackAlice your advice worked - you knew where to look and I didn't. Thank you.
