Clear Recent Designs list

Is there a possibility to clear the "Recent Designs" list ? I have moved a datamodel on my laptop and I only care about the model in the current location - however, the old names keep appering in "Recent Designs" which is confusing. I'm on sqldeveloper 3.1.07

Nevermind, I figured it out. It was in the registry. I must've overlooked it somehow on the first few looks. Thanks to anyone who bothered to look anyhow.

Clear Recent Files List from Splash Screen

Hello - I can't see a method of removing the recently used files from being referenced in the DW CC splash screen. How do I clear the list?
Thanks

Be careful anytime using Regedit and editing the Registry...
If you are using Windows this method should work-
--- this method works for CS6, not sure about (sigh) 'Creative Cloud' ---
Close Dreamweaver
Press & Hold the Windows key on keyboard>
Type in regedit... click run - click ok when admin. dialog opens>
Folders on left, click HKEY_CURRENT_USER>
than click Software>
than click Adobe>
than click Dreamweaver CS6>
...scroll until you see the folder 'Recent File List'
than click Recent File List>
Again BE CAREFUL!!
Leave the first key which should be (Default), the rest which have names File1, File2, File3, etc., right click and select delete (you can also click and drag to highlight all the ones you want to delete, agree.
Exit Registry - start Dreamweaver!

How to clear "recent" contacts listed automatically as you type email addresses in

Hi everyone. When I go to type the address of an email I get as far as the first letter and a list of "recent" email addresses pops up, which is handy except for some reason the first one is a combination of two emails address, one I know and one I only vaguely recognise as possibly being a former student who might have been on a mailing list of mine at one time. This combo of emails addresses doesn't appear in my contact list or address book on its own, but since it shows up as I start typing my husband's email, I'm sure there has been a time or two where I've just selected it to autocomplete the address field, and ended up sending something probably embarrassingly personal to not just my husband but this other person as well. How do I go in and clear out my icloud's memory of past-sent emails? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How do i prevent users to delete or disable Clear Recent History option in tools menu

i wanted to disable Clear Recent History option in tools menu,
because i want to restrict the people to delete browsing history.

Even if you disable some items in the Tools > Clear Recent History list then it is still possible to remove history items in the History sidebar (View > Sidebar > History).

Best would be to lock the corresponding privacy.cpd.* prefs via a file mozilla.cfg

How to Clear "recent" listing in new Acrobat X Pro

In new Acrobat X Pro, when I open this program a window appears listing "recent" files that I have previously opened.
I cannot clear this "recent" listing. I have deleted some of those files, and do not want them to appear in this window anymore.
I cannot find any option to clear this damn listing. Only option I found was to reduce this listing from the default 5 to 1. Zero is unavailable.
The crude way I found was to delete this registry listing:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles
I cannot believe that Adobe will design and release a brand new version with such poor design.
If you do know how, maybe I am blind and cannot find this elusive option, please post it here so we all can learn.
But if I am really correct and there is no option, Adobe MUST fix this oversight ASAP.
Thank you for helping.

George, you almost have it, as my method here is more efficient:
All you need to do is save the following 2 lines as ClearAcrobatRecent.REG
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\10.0\AVGeneral\cRecentFiles]
IMPORTANT:
Copy and paste the above 2 lines in Notepad, then save as "ClearAcrobatRecent.REG"
Note the - to the left of HKEY, which denotes "remove" from the Registry.
Then run this reg file whenever you need to clear your recent files that appear when you open Acrobat.
My method is easier and better because it does not rely on the number of "recent" files, as all will be cleared.
Of course, "cRecentFiles" entry will be deleted in the registry as well, but it will safely be recreated once you open a file in Acrobat.
Until Adobe adds this important and useful option in the next Acrobat X update this is the only practical way to clear "recent files".
Good luck and enjoy.

How do you clear the recent history list (as this function was lost in one of the last app updates )?

Since this function was apparently lost in one of the last adobe reader app updates, how now are you supposed to clear the recent history, but retain the files on my nexus tablet?

Hello,
That explains why I am no longer able to clear the recent history list...
I understand that removing/deleting the files from my device will remove the files from my list. However this in not ideal for me, as I would like to be able to go back and look at the papers that I have previously read and then be able to clear the recent list. Also, if I can clear the list without removing the files from my device, I can keep track of what I have recently read, and move those files into a second folder on my device to say that I have read the papers at least once. That way I would still have the papers on my device but can clear the list and know that I have read the papers. Thus I really would like a way to clear your history from the recents list, ideally with the option of clearing individual files from the list, as well as a second option to clear all files from the recent list, while retaining the original files on the device.
Thanks and have a good day,
Trevor

I am unable to clear my recent call list. Both the 'missed' and 'all' numbers appear even after deleting. It was happening on ios 7.0.4 and is present on 7.0.5. Any help.

Clear Recent list

I use acrobat reader on my iPad since Nov. 2013.
During the version updates, the "Recent" list is the most bothersome.
At first it won't show up when I need it, then it won't go away, but at least it makes sense:
If I move pdfs to cloud.arcobat.com then delete them from the cloud, the file names are cleared from the list.
But after the recent update, 'if' above do not apply any more:
The (re)moved pdf names are cleared once the upload is done locally, (the names are still there with clouded marks are tagged on the far right).
and the MOST CREEPY part is I still can open the DELETED (clouded) pdfs and pick up reading from the last time
even if I sign out/in multiple times, where are the files from??????????
BTW, in 'Recents' screen, there is not any action button on the PDF reader for iPad, how can I intentionally clear the Recent list?
Is this a bug or a feature? Why I cannot look it up on the HELP?

If you have a PDF document that is locally stored on your iPad/iPhone, it will appear in the Documents section of the File Browser in the Reader home screen.
Once you upload/save the PDF document to Acrobat.com (cloud storage), the local PDF document still appears in the Documents section, and the uploaded PDF document appears in the Acrobat.com section. Therefore, you now have two copies of the PDF document: the one on your iPad/iPhone and the other one on Acrobat.com (cloud storage)
Even if you delete the local PDF document that appears in the Documents section, the one on Acrobat.com (cloud storage) is still intact (i.e. not deleted).
When you go to the Recents section, you will see the PDF document that is stored on Acrobat.com with the "Cloud" icon.
Because it is not the local PDF document that you have deleted, you can still access the other copy from Acrobat.com.
In the Recents section
Your PDF documents on Acrobat.com (cloud storage) are displayed with the Cloud icon.
Your local PDF documents (stored only on your iPad/iPhone) are displayed without the Cloud icon.
Please let us know if this is not the case that you have experienced.

"Clear Recent History..." wipes cookies and! the cookies exceptions list although the cookies box is not ticked

Clicking "Clear Recent History..." wipes all cookies and even worse the cookies exceptions list although the cookies box is not ticked.
Problem persist across restarts of Firefox and reboots of the OS.

The exceptions are part of the "Site Preferences".
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Cookies' and the 'Site Preferences'.
You need an allow exception for cookies that you want to keep.

How can I clear the recent document list on the welcome page?

Have some confidential docs that I don't want to appear when the program is launched. How can I clear the recent document list on the welcome page and the "open recent" list? thx

It's not an option in the prefs. It's a hidden file that makes up part of the preference set (as far as I know, most, or all of the seetings you can adjust inside ID's prefences dialog are actually saved in the other half of the set, InDesign Defaults). For more information, see Replace Your Preferences

Indesign CS5.5 recent items list blank

After upgrading to Design Premium CS5.5 I noticed the recent items list, that comes up when Indesign starts, is cleared whenever I restart my mac.
It's fine in all the other CS applications like Photoshop.
I'm running Snow Leopard and I think I have all the latest Adobe updates, Indesign is version 7.5.1
It may be unrelated, but when I ran the 5.5 update, it annoyingly left all the old CS5 versions intact, without giving me the option to remove/overwrite them.
So now I have two versions of Creative suite running alongside each other.
I would like to uninstall the old versions, but I'm worried that the CS5 uninstall script will remove assets shared by CS5.5 and mess up my system.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix the recent items list... or if I can safely remove CS5 without causing more problems?

I tried that, but it didn't make any difference unfortunately.

I suspect a permissions problem with the InDesign SavedData file, or containing folder, in your user library is keeping it from being written properly.
In light of your comment, I had a dig around and noticed something a little strange.
I had a look in...
Users>Me>Library>Application Support>Adobe>
...and noticed there were separate folders for the different versions of the CS applications, like: 'Adobe Photoshop CS5' and 'Adobe Photoshop CS5.1
But there is only one folder for InDesign CS5, despite two versions being installed.
Is this supposed to be this way? It seems odd that Indesign is the only one that is different.

How can I get more than 5 items in my Recent Projects list?

After a rather horrendous incident with trying to do a series of videos all in one project using bins and shared media and a savefile that got *WAYYY* out of hand (20 minutes to load the file)- which I believe was tied to importing media from another .proj file, I have switched to a more modular approach with anywhere from 2-5 projects in each project and now a collection of around 15-25 projects on the go. Most of these are "work on a chapter, then change to another project while waiting for footage for another project" and several of them share pieces including multicam segments and sync'd audio.
Rather than importing from another project, I am using Control-C, switch to a different project file, then paste in. This isn't the most "Adobe Professional" style way of doing things, but considering that I lost several hours to trying to recover from the last project, even when I only needed to spend 20 minutes pumping out a rough cut, I'm not going back to that method until my next computer upgrade and until I begrudgingly switch to CC in around 1-1.5 year's time.
So the issue that I'm faced with is that I'm often using the Open Recent Project flyout and having 5 projects on that list is just not enough to be remotely useful.
In MS Office, the list is quite long and even in photoshop, I can get 10. That's enough for my Photoshop, but I switch projects using the Recent Projects list in Premiere a LOT more often. I could just use my explorer windows to jump around, but given that I have 5-6 explorer windows open per project most of which are folders crammed with footage, PSD stills and peak files, plus other non-video things I'm working on right now, that's really not the simplest way to navigate at a glance.
How can I get 10, 20 or 25 items in that flyout list instead of mucking about with 5?
I run Adobe Production Premium CS6.

I see a lot of people not reading the circumstances of what I said.
I did mention that currently I use the "explorer" method and it's kind of clumsy. Although I liked the idea of using shortcuts. I had thought about moving the files, but didn't think about shortcuts... considering everything on my desktop is a shortcut, I'm really not sure why I didn't think of that.
But I did mention that I almost always have anywhere from 12-15 windows open at any given time in my explorer. I am involved with management of 4 different companies right now, two of which are in startup mode. Videos are important for me, but not my only duty. These windows only go down when I shut down my computer, which happens on average once every 4 months. It is not a problem on a reasonably capable system.
Still, for a project of currently 23 files (just got increased to 28 and expected to rise to 32-35), and because I have had project files go sour on me, I keep some hierarchy and because I don't have 100% creative control over all my projects, I also occasionally have to do re-overs ie when a specific style of writ is nixed by a boss or customer. Those 23 project files also have version iterations.
So navigating 'at a glance' through a file explorer isn't always the most practical.
In the end, I'll probably try to find some time to re-organize my file structure using shortcuts.
Still, given the number of 'recent files' can be modified or is larger than 5 in: Windows Start Menu, Recent documents, Adobe PDF recent documents, Adobe Photoshop, All Office suite programs...
It's just weird that there's only 5 for a program intended for the kind of people that work on projects somewhat larger in scope than "hey, we took the dog to the park the other day".
@Jerry Klaimon - not sure what version of Premiere you're using, I'm using CS6 with Production Premium CS6. Recent files only shows 5. Photoshop shows 9. For my current workload, I'd probably want 10-12 and it would be nice if they could go to 20 or more IMHO. Look at History states. History states default to 20. I usually set this to 35 whenever I set up any user's computer. It's easy to choose what suits me from the preferences menu. I don't see why they wouldn't have the same idea for 'recent files'
@anyone who thinks I'm stupid - please feel free to insult me. A forum scuffle is often a great way to get the attention of moderators who might be in a position to pass this idea on to someone who could do something about it. I'm also anal, stubborn, holier-than-thou and not-as-smart-as-i-think-i-am if you want some ideas to get started .
@Steven Gotz - you are quite correct that asking is important. Probably a smarter thing to do before pestering the devs with feature requests is to thoroughly check to see if it is in fact already existing. Adobe products are famous for having features that nobody knows about. Most of the questions I have that Google or Lynda.com didn't answer have been answered here in the forums. Then once I've seen that a few hundred pairs of eyes sharper than mine have also come up with nothing, then perhaps it might be worthwhile sending in a feature request. In this case, I will probably toss a feature request in later, but I'll probably just use your idea of keeping a master project folder with shortcuts.
@MarkMapes - I do not have a problem loading files. Project files load just fine for me. But I have one project file that has a problem that loads a HUGE amount of RAM and takes nearly 20 minutes to open. It even takes almost 8 minutes to close it. It was acting as my master file with everything nested in sequences and I needed to spend a whole afternoon to pull those sequences out using copy-paste because bringing them in via Import Sequence brought the problem into the new file. I would file that under "glitched save files" rather than "slow loading".
@Jon-M-Spear - good idea too - although I did cringe a bit at the suggestion of putting things on the desktop. I have bad habits and I work very hard to try to make other people who have worse habits in this company to try to get them to not keep anything on the desktop. In fact, it's probably my favorite thing about Windows 7 that you can have a clear or nearly totally clear desktop.
Thanks for your comments folks.
