How can I disable the Most Recently Used (MRU) Files list?
There are certain circumstances in which you may want to disable the list of most recently used files for privacy or security reasons. For example a loaner laptop or a public kiosk. To disable this list, follow these steps: 1. Using the registry editor, navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Policies\Comdlg32 key. 2. Create a REG_DWORD value named NoFileMru and set this value to 1.
