If you have XP open C,in Tools select folder options, View options and tick Show all files.
Open Documents and Settings in C.
Open the folder which is the name you use to access Windows.
If you use Administrator only, open that folder.
In the folder selected you will see 'My Recent Documents'
Open it and select the files you want to delete and do it.
To save you the headache of doing this everytime, right click on My Recent Documents and select 'Send to' and Desktop.
You will now be able to access this folder on the desktop now.
You can now reverse the View Options you selected earlier.
Hope this helps
