VLC player is one of the item most used on my Windows 7 machine. When I click "Start", I\it appears as "pinned" at the program list.

When I mouse over to the VLC players, I will see a list of recently played videos. Now, is there anyway I can remove the recent list? I tried to remove the recent list from the VLC player application, but this doesn't remove the recent list as remembered by the Windows OS system.

From How to Hide Recently Played Files on VLC Player

Click the Media button on the main menu, select Recent Media-> Clear. Then you have deleted the recent media list.

@Ngu Soon Hui: Where do you see a recent list in Windows? – harrymc Sep 6 '10 at 19:02
@harrymc, there are two places where I can see it. 1. When I click "Start", the vlc player is pinned there. 2. When I launch vlc, and I minimize it, zoom my mouse over it, a "recent list" will also appear. Note that after I Clear everything in Recent Media ( as you show), the recent list in Windows is still there. – Graviton Sep 7 '10 at 1:08
I believe you are referring to the MRU list. This may help: blogsdna.com/2324/… – harrymc Sep 7 '10 at 6:27
