MS Paint keeps showing the last 9 files which were opened. Is there a way so that when I close the Paint, these files could automatically removed. I do not want to make a new user. Or if there is any other free program which is like MS Paint but have option to not to show last opened files.

This will clear it but of not disable list ie you would have to do again later etc.
This is very cumbersome. I even got a batch file which clears the last opened files but again to run it every time is a headache. I need something to do it automatically. I am ready to use any other free image program, if there is option not to save last opened files.Here s a partial solution. Works for Windows 10 as well.

Have a look at Picpick.
It has a free version and I use this version for last 3 years.
All my screenshots posted in these blog were done with Picpick.
It is very versatile. It's duped as "poor-man's SnagIt".
Time to move up for a more sophisticated program.
Hi sam9,
Not sure if you use Ccleaner,but there is a cleaning option specifically for Paint. I would think that should help, but I since don't use Paint, so I'm not able to test it.

I will give it a try. Meanwhile I tried Gimp and there is an option to uncheck the box keep record of used files in the recent document list but that is also not working. Any idea.Have a look at Picpick.

I don't use Gimp. Sorry.I will give it a try. Meanwhile I tried Gimp and there is an option to uncheck the box keep record of used files in the recent document list but that is also not working. Any idea.
Picpick has a "repeat last capture" option. That's it. It does not keep record of used files.
I have Ccleaner but again every time I will have to do it manually. In the meantime I tried Gimp. It has option to uncheck the box that is keep record of recent used files but again this is not working. Any idea.Hi sam9,

I did some more checking and it looks as if you've already tried most of what I found.
Personally, I like PhotoFiltre(free), which also allows for some cool plugginstoo. There's alsoPhotoFiltre Studio,which is more advanced (layering, etc..) but it's not free after the trial period- but reasonable)

I never knew that Ccleaner clears the recent files of paint. Yes it worked but again I need to do it automatically. As I said I got one batch file which clears the recent files and if it could be added in startup to execute it at the time of starting the PC. But I don't know how?I have Ccleaner but again every time I will have to do it manually. In the meantime I tried Gimp. It has option to uncheck the box that is keep record of recent used files but again this is not working. Any idea.
