Hi there,

for using that script on an english Win XP just the 4th line should be modified. 
The script then is:

var fso, f, fc, fso2;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
fso2 = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.GetFolder("c:\\Documents and Settings");
fc = new Enumerator(f.SubFolders);
for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext())
{
   if (fso2.FolderExists(fc.item() + "\\Recent"))
      fso2.DeleteFile(fc.item() + "\\Recent\\*.*");
   if (fso2.FolderExists(fc.item() + "\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Office\\Recent"))
      fso2.DeleteFile(fc.item() + "\\Application Data\\Microsoft\\Office\\Recent\\*.*");
}
   if (fso2.FolderExists("c:\\windows\\Recent"))
      fso2.DeleteFile("c:\\windows\\Recent\\*.*");

I´m running it on an english Win XP Pro SP1 and it´s running fine :-)
