How to remove 'Recent pictures' list in Paint in Windows 7 Professional Edition? - Anita Mallya - 04-02-2014 12:40 AM

Whenever I save Files using Windows 7's Paint Program the recently saved files are shown as a list under 'Recent pictures'. This is affecting my privacy. Because if my husband opens Paint he sees the pictures I saved recently and scolds me because he feels I will be sharing my pics with Chatters in Yahoo Messenger Chat or on Facebook and he is strictly against me sharing any of my pics.

Please guide me about how I can remove and disable showing of such recently saved or opened items of Paint.

- check the location of the images in the 'Recent Pictures' list.

- remove all the images from that location and paste to some other folder.

- click on the pictures list in the 'Recent Pictures'

- a dialogue box appears that says "image not found"

- bingo! the list is gone.
