Description
Removes the Documents menu from the Start menu.
By default, the system saves a shortcut to each of the non-program files the user opened most recently, and it displays the shortcuts on the Documents menu. The shortcuts let the user easily review and restart recently used documents.
This entry stores the setting of the Remove Documents menu from Start Menu Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes this entry from the registry, and the system behaves as though the value is 0.

Meaning |
---|---|
0 (or not in the registry) |

You can use the Remove Documents menu from Start Menu policy, in coordination with the Do not keep history of recently opened documents Group Policy ( NoRecentDocsHistory ) and the Clear history of recently opened documents Group Policy ( ClearRecentDocsOnExit ), to manage access to recently opened files.

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Remove Documents menu from Start Menu Group Policy (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Start Menu & Taskbar).
