EXPLORER\
SHELLFOLDERS\
Once in this key, go into the recent section and change the value from c:\windows\recent to c:\recycled and click OK.
This takes all the documents to the Recycle Bin.
Unfortunately it can be a burden having to delete these each day; therefore you may want to review our section on how to make files not be stored in the Recycle Bin.

Explanation:
My Documents is the commonly recognized name of a special folder in Microsoft Windows (even though starting with Windows Vista, it is called Documents only, and the actual name of the folder might be different when the language of the installed copy of Windows is not English.) This folder is supposed to be a personal area where users store their personal non-shared documents. However, many software developers have ignored this convention and as a result, this folder has become a dumping ground for the application data such as files containing settings and saved games. Users cannot delete, move or organize these files without causing unwanted behavior in their software.
Until Windows XP, it contained other subfolders such as "My Pictures", "My Music" and "My Videos". Starting with Windows Vista, these subfolders were moved out of My Documents and were made its siblings.
