I have a frustrating issue with WORD, EXCEL etc. 2010.
When I try to "save as" there is a triangle next to the box which, when clicked, shows about 20 recent documents. I want to get rid of these as, for example, there are files listing wife's birthday ideas etc. I do not want her to see.

I have gone through the process of selecting ZERO recent files under Options/Advanced etc. and also unpinned recent documents and places from each application. However, this list, specifically when trying to "SAVE AS" remains.

Any ideas anyone ?
Thanks

I have no solution, but do have some ideas.

First, retitle the birthday ideas file.
Then create, save and close a bunch of dummy files to bump this one off the list.
