  <title>Turn off or limit file history tracking</title>
  
  <p>Tracking recently used files and folders makes it easier to find
  items that you have been working on in the file manager and in file
  dialogs in applications. You may wish to keep your file usage history
  private instead, or only track your very recent history.</p>
