Can I stop that "Frequent" site list being shownwhen right click IE icon in windows 7

[brad123]

In windows 7 I notice if I right click the IE icon in my taskbar or start menu etc it always displays most "frequent" sites I visit, can I disable this option as I dont want a list of clients websites and admin logins being added as it is now.

Thanks

Is it not more of an OS feature than the software feature itself?
I know that W7 shows recently played MP3s in Winamp, recently played videos in VLC etc, I assume it does the same for recently viewed pages in the browser?

Yes you can disable this, it is hidden somewhere in the options. I can't remember it off by heart, but when I get home I'll have a look for you.

Firefox is the answer to every IE question, you should know this by now

Note to self: do not bait MS fanboys in forums you moderate

I suspect it has something to do with these settings...

The reason they are greyed out on mine is because I manage those kind of settings via Group Policy. Which is encompassed by one setting "Turn off user tracking".
