asked on how can I turn off automatic display of pictures within MS Paint of Windows 10 within the Start menu?
Hello and Good Evening Everyone,
Whenever I click on Start, type in Paint in the Search field, small icons of my pictures stored on my hard drive appear underneath Paint before I open this program. Is there a way of reconfiguring the settings of Windows 10 or perhaps MS Paint to prevent this from happening again?
Thank you
George

Hello and Good Morning Everyone,
The default program is Windows Photo Viewer. However, the icons of the pictures remain underneath Paint whenever I click on the Start, type in Paint in the Search field. What I am experiencing here is similar to previous operating systems holding onto pictures and music files most recently used. However, there might be a bit more to this.

Hi
On a side note which might be of some troubleshooting usefulness, is there a way I can simply assign a hidden attribute to these pictures so they are not being displayed as icons within the Start area underneath Paint?

Hello and Good Morning Everyone,
Thank you for your suggestions. After reviewing this situation more carefully and re-reading McKnife's tip, it turns out that I have several pictures with the file name of "paint" in them. Naturally, that would explain why I was noticing these picture icons when I entered the keyword paint in the search bar at the bottom of the screen.
