Is there a way to stop My Documents from showing shortcuts to recently
opened documents on the Start Menu? There are times that I open notepad docs
that I don't want displayed. I know how to delete these items but I want to
prevent them from being created.

You can change the EditFlags reg_binary value for the file type.
FTA_NoRecentDocs (0x00100000)

In the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT branch. One for virtually every file type.

Take a look in;
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile
Should have said Reg_DWord, I currently have 0x0001000 (FTA_OpenIsSafe), you
want to add 0x0010000 (FTA_NoRecentDocs) to it.
0x0001000 hex = 65536 dec
0x0010000 hex = 1048576 dec
65536 + 1048576 = 1114112
1114112 dec = 0x0011000 hex

Yes, add a Reg_DWord named 'EditFlags' with value of 0x00100000 hex or
1048576 decimal

Do I need to reboot for this to take effect? I just added a Reg_DWord and
new txt files are still showing up under My Documents.

It didn't work. I may not have added the reg key properly.
