Whenever I play a video in VLC (Simpsons, Futurama, whatever) it shows up in "My Recent Documents" folder in the start menu.

Everytime I play a different episode it shows up there and it gets annoying to remove them from that list all the time.

Is there any way to disable VLC from placing them there?

Any help would be appreciated

in VLC yet. can anyone give a solution?

Hey dude, I just made another thread regarding this topic. Here's the solution provided:

You can find this setting in VLC's advanced preferences, so click on "All" at the bottom of the Preferences window and navigate to "Interface" -> "Main Interfaces" -> "macosx" and disable the respective setting. A restart of VLC is required for this setting to take affect.
