Why? Because of traces left in the recent documents list of Windows? Well that
one can be disabled using dedicated registry parameters ("NoRecentDocsNetHood",
"ClearRecentDocsOnExit", "NoRecentDocsHistory", "NoRecentDocsMenu"). That would
take care of the whole list, including PDF, TXT, JPG, etc. (That's also why I
don't see a need for trying to manipulate the Windows list from LibreOffice, to
keep the Windows list in-synch with the one of LibreOffice. If someone is
interested in the LibreOffice entries the Windows list, they will most likely
be interested in its entirety, including the non-LibreOffice files, and can
disable the list using the above parameters. To keep things simple, the
LibreOffice list could be handled independently of what Windows does with its
list, as I suppose it is already done now.)

But while other office programs (e.g. PDF viewers) allow cleaning of their own
recently opened file list on program closure (or alternatively disabling of the
built-in list entirely), that is currently not possible in LibreOffice. So that
its files will still be visible in its own list, even if the Windows list is
disabled.

As an alternative to the above "Clear Recently Used Documents on Exit" option,
an option to completely disable the Recently Used Documents list of LibreOffice
could be provided. I proposed the "Clear Recently Used Documents on Exit"
instead (as e.g. the proprietary but free “PDF-XChange Viewer” does it) just to
have the list of at least the current session available to the user. But the
complete disabling of the LibreOffice list would serve privacy just as well (as
most other programs do).
