The recent documents history would really cause you the trouble if you are using the laptop both at your work and home. Either regularly clean them or compeletely disable it will be the right thing to do to prevent this kind of problem happening. It took me a while why my laptop was behaving strangely every time when I open the Windows Explorer and try to find the files on my computer. I found that disabling it would be the best solution for me as I never ever look at what files I recently opened.
