How to stop windows 7 from listing my recently used files in pop-up lists in the taskbar

                                In the newer versions of Windows operating systems i.e Windows 7 & Windows 8,
we have "Jump Lists". The main purpose of this "Jump Lists" is to save the current files  we are working with.

                                 By this,it will be easy for us to pick the recently used item.  Jump Lists appear when you right-click a program icon in the Windows desktop taskbar. In Windows 7, you can also go to the Jump Lists from the programs listed in the Start menu.

If you would rather not leave a list of your recently used files hanging around the taskbar, you can 
 change the settings.

 In Windows 7, 

1. Simply,right-click the taskbar and choose Properties from the menu. 

2. When the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties box appears, 
3.click the Start Menu tab, turn off the checkbox next to “Store and display recently opened items in   the Start menu and the taskbar” 
4. click OK.

In Windows 8 :

1. Windows 8’s desktop mode
2. right-click the taskbar and in the Properties box
3. click the Jump Lists tab. 

4. Under the Privacy section, turn off the checkbox next to “Store and display recently opened items in Jump Lists” 

5.  click  OK button.
