this was discussed on this board a few months ago. It was decided that when you select all the files on your C drive it doesnt include hidden files so thats why you get a lower amount. If you select to see hidden files it will go up. Also I think there was an amount of space reserved by xp that doesnt get counted aswell (for system restore or something). Hope that helps

To clear the 'Recently Used Documents'

  1. Right click on the task bar
  2. select properties
  3. Start menu tab
  4. customise
  5. advanced tab
  6. clear list

You might want to untick the record list button
