It's in PowerToys for XP. I knew I saw it somewhere. Thanks anyways.
Another way that i have used in the past, just Deny the "everyone" group full control the "recent" folder. Then nothing can read or write to it.
If XP home, boot to safe mode to get the full NTFS permissions.

I only wanted to exclude certain items, such as the shortcuts I keep on the quick launch bar, so doing it the "denying access" way wouldn't really work for me in this case. Thanks anyways though.
dude you must be doing something wrong
when you use quick launch item or desktop link it does not add them to the start menu

By default, yes it does, at least with XP anyways. You can modify it to not show the recently used programs but it's there by default.

Oh ya & BTW, we're talking about the "Start" menu - not quick launch or anything else.
