2. Hide Recent Files from Your Jump Lists
Jump
Lists were a great addition in Windows 7 that helped boost your
productivity, but their "Recent Items" feature were a possible privacy
concern—say, if there were documents or files you didn't want others to
know
you had viewed. Windows 8 lets you customize Jump Lists more than
Windows 7,
giving you the option to hide recently opened items and
recently opened
programs. To access the preferences, just right-click on
the Taskbar, go to
Properties, and click the Jump Lists tab.
