You should be able to Right Click on an item and select to delete from the list.

There's no way of pinning a link to that list that I know of, it's purely a list of the last number of documents opened. If you want a permanent link to a particular document then you'll need to create it on the desktop and then drag to the start button where you can then Right Click and select 'Pin to Start Menu'. When you no longer wish to have that link then it can be deleted after first 'un-pinning' from the Start Menu. -- Best regards, Barry mailto:[email protected] MicroSoft Free Zone running Ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid' 64bit
