Windows XP snooping query

Options
My old version of Windows 95 provided a list of the most recently visited dozen or so documents which I found useful for checking what other users of my computer may have been snooping into.
Windows XP, as far as I can make out doesn't provide such a list - or does it? Does any one know?

    Click start, it's 2nd on the list on the right "my recent documents".

    But the list can be cleared. Far better that you don't allow others to use your profile and set up a profile for each user. Require a password for each one and have XP log you out after a certain period of inactivity. Personally, I also force the use of Ctr+Alt+Del to log back in. You can set all of this in the Security Policies.
