My machine is set up for three users: Me (Owner,) my wife, and a fresh troubleshooting user (root is often enabled, as well.)

Whenever I log on as a user other than my Owner account, the Recent Items under the Apple Menu from that Owner account appear.

Where this is more of a minor "privacy" issue for me, I wonder if this could become a "security" issue for others.

Either way, I'd like to know what the heck is going on here.

There were some posts on this subject at MacFixIt back in May, but no solutions offered.

Any thoughts here?

Thanks
Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.
