I am reluctant to advise people to use TweakUI, I've seen too many
people screw their systems up by setting things they have no clue about.

This accomplishes the exact same thing:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"ClearRecentDocsOnExit"=dword:00000001

It can be copied into Notepad, saved as a .reg file and run without any
danger or risk at all.
