After having said so in comment, about disabling of recent documents, windows store Recent documents under a directory "Recent" under user folder.

eg

C:\\Users\\pallavi\\Recent .

It contains a list of recent files in the form of shortcuts (.lnk files) and you can use this directory to find recent files.
