[font=Verdana]In the start menu it lists your recently opened programs.[/font]

[font=Verdana]In the properties menu for the start menu you can select how many programs it will list.[/font]

[font=Verdana]I have always set this list to zero……… But it always indesrimnatly populates the list anyway.[/font]

[font=Verdana]I can clear it and it sooner or later they come back.[/font]  
[font=Verdana]I have formatted and reinstalled XP more times than I can count and it has always been this way.[/font]

[font=Verdana]I have tried to find information on this before… but nothing ever turns up ?[/font]

[font=Verdana]Any comments ?[/font]
