Delete Documents?

Roger Shackelton · Post by **Roger Shackelton** » 25 May 2002 2:11 pm

After I have downloaded items from the internet, they appear on the document list after clicking on the start button.

Is there a way to delete these documents?

This is a easy fix. Click Start, Up to Settings, Down to Task Bar&Start Menu, Open tab Start Menu Programs, Click on Clear Button at bottom. This removes the contents of the Documents Menu.

An easy way: right click on any item in the Documents list. A menu will pop up, and "Delete" will be on the menu.

Thanks Gary it worked.

Earnest, I actually tried your way first, but nothing happened. Is it because I am running Windows 95?

Yeah, Windows 95 might not have that feature (right-click) but it is always worth trying right-click on anything just to see what sort of a menu pops up.

The list that appears when you bring up the Start Menu and click on Documents is whatever is in the folder C:\WINDOWS\Recent.

My Win 95 (4.00.950 B) does the right-click delete thing on the document list ok. BTW--these are just shortcuts, I believe--not actual files that are being deleted.
