This article describes how to remove an individual item from the Documents list on the Start menu.

To remove an item from the Documents list, follow these steps:

1.	Using Windows Explorer, open the Windows\Recent folder.
2.	Use the right mouse button to click the item you want to remove, and then click Delete on the menu that appears.

Note that this removes only the shortcut from the Windows\Recent folder. The actual document itself is not removed.
