532420 2007-03-12 20:28:00 i have vista home premium and are unable to clear the recent items list in my admin account the option is not there but is and workes in a user account.
I can clear them one by one by opening the folder any help please

532421 2007-03-12 21:40:00 As far as i know thats the only way you can clear them click on the item you want deleted and then it opens a window go to file select all and all the folders in that window will be deleted or i think if you go to internet options and delete history it will clear that as well.

Hope this helps.

Go to recent items right mouse click on explore when the window opens click on organise then select all and then delete that way you can clear the whole lot in one foul swoop.

532424 2007-03-13 04:43:00 :groan: thanks for the replys.when you right click on recent items in a user account you get the option to clear them but in the admin account that option is not on the drop down menu is this just the way it is<> i created another admin account and the option was there not a big thing its just annoying the user account only keeps the last 10 but the admin account just keeps on going. robinj (2203)
