How to reduce the number of shortcuts/links in the recent documents list?

When I look into the folder:

C:/Documents and Settings\<username>\recent

then there are currently approx 20 recent documents listed.

How can I permanently reduce the number or even disable this list?

Right click on the Start button and choose Properties --> Customize
button --> Advanced Tab and un-tick (US: un-check) where it says "List
my most recent documents"
