CLEARING THE DOCUMENTS FOLDER
Would you like to clear out the list of Documents in the
folder that's on your Start Menu? Or perhaps just
partially clear it, getting rid of a document that was
saved to your A: drive and you don't want to have to keep
the floppy mounted so Windows can access it? Well, the
contents of the Start Menu Documents folder are stored as
shortcuts in a folder under your Windows directory called
Recent. So you can delete whatever you want to from this
folder by using Explorer or My Computer, or even DOS
commands in a Windows DOS Prompt session. If you just
want to clear out the folder entirely, you can also do
this: click on the Start button, select Settings, then
select Taskbar, next click on the tab for Start Menu
Programs, and finally click on the Clear button in the
Documents Menu portion of the window.
