Disable Frequent software

Windows normally shows the frequently used softwares in the start menu. this could be annoying for those who dont need it/use it. Use this hack if you don?t want the list of frequently used programs in the Start Menu to show up.This will only work with the XP Start Menu, not the Classic Start Menu.

Navigate to:

HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer

And to:

HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\Explorer

Change the value of DWORD NoStartMenuMFUprogramsList to 1 to disable the display of the frequent programs list. If that DWORD doesn?t exist, create it.
