recently used programs list
From Free Pascal wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchTo make your program appear in the Recently Used Programs List on the Windows Start Menu after being loaded at least once, your application must have a shortcut on the Desktop, in Quick Launch or in the Start Menu, etc. Windows only adds programs that have a shortcut.
To prevent your program appearing in the Recently Used Programs List on the Start Menu, simply don't create any shortcuts to your program.
