MRU-Blaster -
remove all traces of recently used filesHere is a small program that will help
satisfy even the most paranoid users' unquenchable thirst for privacy.
MRU-Blaster will remove the MRU lists that all your
Windows programs create. The authors claim it will remove MRU's from over
30,000 locations on your PC. How well does it work? I tried it out and it
found over 1300 MRU's on my system. Some of the MRU's were from programs
I'd forgotten I had and were almost 2 years old. MRU-Blaster is good at
what it does.

Quote from the website - MRU-Blaster
is a program made to do one large task - detect and clean MRU (most
recently used) lists on your computer. These MRU lists contain information
such as the names and/or locations of the last files you have accessed.
They are located ALL OVER your registry, and for almost ANY file type. By
looking at these MRU lists, someone could determine what files you
opened/saved/looked at, what their file names were, and much more!
