While using a loaner notebook from the office, I noted that whenever I viewed any media, be it images, video, or audio,  those files did not show up under Start/Documents.   The usage was clean, but I got the impression they set up loaners this way in order to avoid embarrasing situations for the next notebook user.  

I can see the advantages, and I'd like to know how to set up XP this way myself.  Anyone know how this is done?

It is a start menu option. Right click on the start button and go to Properties. Look around. It is in there somewhere.

That isn't quite it. He wants the documents to never show up in the list, not to clear the list.

Here is a how-to.

Thanks guys.  What I really want is to have the recently accessed documents feature to continue to work, so that I can see recently accessed Word files and such.  BUT, any media files do NOT show up on the list.  That's what impressed me about the set-up I encountered - full practical functionality, but without getting cluttered up my a bunch of media files, like MP3 files for example.

My guess is almost everyone reading this thread would like that too!  Is that what your link is describing RyJones?

Well, there used to be something in Word for that under tools-options, and I think it could be set from 0 to 9 or 10.

I think WMP also has an option, as well as there being a toggle in XP.
