Is there a quick way to clear “frequent” items list?

Answer:

Open “Taskbar and Start Menu Properties” by right clicking the start menu button\properties when this opens you have the ability on the Start Menu tab to change this. If you just want to clear it for now uncheck under Privacy the bottom one which will take this off and the check it again and it will start to build the list again.
