In Windows 7, you can still do the same thing. Most users are looking to remove this option, especially on shared computers. Well either way, below I show you in a few steps on how to ad or remove the recent items list in Windows 7.

My name is Subha. I’m interested in computer science, music and literature. Computers first appeared in my life when I was fifteen. Then I had got my first computer. I remember myself thinking, that it was the best thing in the world. I was playing it whenever I could but some time later, I noticed that I could do a lot more things with the computer, for example programming. So, I have started my graduation in Computer. Later i have decided that I can spread my knowledge among peoples. So, I have started blogging.
