Is there? Because I am making a utility that eradicates private data created by Window$ such as Recent Documents. If there isn't is there a way to use the AppData variable and to go up to the hiearacy to the Docs and Settings directory in order to reach the Recent Documents Directory?

NSIS Help File under 'Constants'

It's all there. You would want to use -

$PROFILE - give you 'Docs and Settings\user'
$APPDATA
$DOCUMENTS - 'Docs and Settings\user\My Documents'

If I were you I'd try

If I were you I'd try $PROFILE\..\

(Don't take my word on it, I use AutoIt.)
