To stop displaying the "Recent photos and videos", "Recently changed" and other similar folder options, read this: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?p=3469407
Those "folders" are not actually folders; they are saved searches and can be deleted without deleting the actual files - but read the link and follow the directions...
To clear recent files from the Start Menu: Right-click Start and click Properties. Under Privacy, uncheck "Store and display a list of previously opened files"
To prevent displaying recent folders in the address bar dropdown box in Windows Explorer, you have to go to Internet Options (even if you use a different browser than IE). On the General tab under Browsing History, click Delete... then click Delete history (or maybe just Delete all).
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can prevent the dropdown list from ever displaying any folders by clicking Settings (under Browsing History) and setting "Days to keep pages in history" to zero. ::great
Did I miss anything??
Recently Changed, recent pics and videos
That link you provided didn't help much. I think the ONLY way to be totally clear is to set the "recent files" list to not show in the properties tab when you right click on the task bar. That seems to be the only way. I know she found my pics in the "recent items" folder, but now I'm worried to view/edit pics and videos in fear that she will come across them again. I need better information on how to do this. Yes, setting up a new user name for the computer will work, but that looks suspicious, like I don't want her to run into anything.
If I view a picture, and modify it, it will show up in the recently changed folder. I NEED THAT FOLDER TO NOT EXIST! Somebody please provide your advise. Thanks.
Also, if anybody has any more MFX jean fart video's, that would be great! Farts in jeans tend to have the "bubbly" quality about them that is sooo HOT! I don't like bare ass farts b/c they are too airy sounding, anybody agree?

Here, I'll walk you through it. For anyone just tuning in, this is for Vista only.
Open any Windows Explorer window. You'll see Searches as one of the items on the left. Click on Searches to open it. Now select any of the Recent Items "folders" you don't want displayed and then delete them.
Note that they are not actually folders, but saved searches. Deleting them will NOT delete any files, only the searches.
Let me know if that works.
