If you are annoyed with the list of recently opened documents in MS Office 2007 button or you are spying on someones PC by opening document files and want to leave no trace of evidence (hahaha!), then follow this steps to clean up that list.

  1. Open MS Word 2007 and click the Office Button atop the menu.
  2. With the pop-up showing the recent documents, click the ‘Word Options’ located below.ms-word-recent-files.jpg
  3. The ‘Word Option’ window will appear and click on the ‘Advanced’ Tab on the left.
  4. Scroll down below and locate the ‘Display’ group and change ‘Show this number of recent documents’ value to your desired value. To show nothing, make it ‘0′.word-options.jpg
  5. Now, click ‘OK’ and see the list of recent documents empty or the number you specified.
