Clearing recently opened files

How does one clear an application's recently opened files when control-clicking on an application? Clicking on the mac at the top left corner and clearing recently items only clears that menu, there still remains individual menus for say, preview or quicktime, that I wish to clear and I can't seem to find a way to. Cheers.

It would be located in a directory with a path similar to the one below, replacing "ric" with your windows username.
C:\Documents and Settings\ric\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.0.22.47.32\o.ide
--Ric

How to clear recently opened files

I'm using Flash Player 11, and I was wondering if I'd be able to remove the recently opened files under "file". Thanks!
(Also, not related to this question, but is there a keyboard shortcut for "close" or "exit"?)

What is your operating system & version?
Do you mean the standalone player (Projector)?

(Need Help) how to clear the recently opened file list on Flash Player 11?

excuse me pals, may i ask how to clear recently opened file list under "File" tab on Flash Player 11 (the standalone player) ? i've tried to browse my registry but i can't find the solution (and i can't find the .mru files containg the list). my OS is Windows 7 32bit, i hope i can find solution here

I found it in the Windows registry under HKCU\Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayer

Unable to clear the recently open files list

Currently, in order to clear the opened files list, the user has to go into the Windows registry. This by itself can be bad if the user is not familiar with the registry; could mess up the registry if not very careful. There appears to be no plug-in/addon for this option nor is there any user option to select to clear the list. There is a setting in the options/permissions to limit the number of opened files to the list; the minimum number being one(1). Cannot set this number to zero(0) unless maybe there is a registry fix for this. I want to suggest that in the next release, or at least as soon as possible, to add to the Adobe Reader (by default) a user option to be able to clear this list with having to enter the registry. Or, maybe create a plugin/addon to perform this action. That's it.

How to Increase the # of Recently Opened Files in DW CS6 ???

Can anyone please give a detailed instruction on how to increase the number of Recently Opened files in Dreamweaver CS6? I have read the forums everywhere and do not see a solution here that works. For me there is no: Menus/MM/File_RecentFiles.htm
I mean I have a "Menus" directory but no "MM" directory inside that... also, if I create one... I still need a sample "File_RecentFiles.htm" to copy. Or maybe someone knows another solution?

I don't have DWCS6, just DWCS4 and DWCC. When I go to Program Files(x86) > Adobe > Adobe Dreamweaver CC (or Dreamweaver CS4) > configuration > Menus > MM > and then open the file named "File_RecentFiles.htm" at either location, this is the code...

<html xmlns:MMString="http://www.macromedia.com/schemes/data/string/">
<HEAD>

<TITLE><MMString:loadString id="Menus/MM/File_RecentFiles/title" /></TITLE>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" SRC="../../Shared/MM/Scripts/CMN/string.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript" SRC="File_RecentFiles.js"></SCRIPT>

EDIT: It appears you should definitely have this file, unless something is wrong with your installation, or perhaps you are in the wrong directory?

Projects, Recently Opened files tab missing

Windows shut down my machine after doing an update, when i started it and opened jdeveloper, it was missing the following tabs (Projects, Application Resources, Data Controls, Recently Opened files tab) under Application Navigator. How do i get them back. I can't see any of my project. I tried to create a sample application and put projects in it, but still can't see the projects.
Thanks for any help

How to add "recently opened files" option in my menubar?

In MS Word & others there will be a option to retrive all the recently opened files.Where exactly these files have been stored? Can I get the code for adding this option in my menu bar?
regards,
Madhu

HI, i believe taht word stores that in the windows registery but yuo could always save it in a file. then each time your application opens or saves a document modify your file. then everytime your application starts just read that file and add the content to your recently opened files list in your menu.
Hope this helps you,
Robert

How to recently opened files as Menuitem (swing)

we have a menubar which contains some internalframes and we have to display some html files which we get from a directory directly as a menu item. so if some body puts some more files in the diretory the menu automatically shows all the files in the menu.
Now i come to the problem , we have a menu called WindowMenu .if somebody opens either internalframes or html files we want WindowMenu to display the recently opened internalframes or the htmlfiles as JMenuitem.
and if a user goes to window menu and select a recently opened file it should open that respective frame

Is there a way to remove Recently opened files (File>Open Recently Edited File)?

Reset the preferences. in PSE version 10 and older quit the editor (quit PSE in PSE 8 and lower on a mac) then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
In PSE 11 and 12, go to the editor preferences>general and click this button, then restart the editor:

Terminal command to find most recently opened files

Hello,
I have a terminal command (bash) that will find the last opened file (singular) from a given directory. "$(ls -t | head -n1)"
I want to be able to search for multiple "last opened" files, say 20; I also want to be able to search either all user files, or at least direct the command to search within subfolders of a top level folder.
Can anyone help. I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

This will find all files last used today. Reference. File Meta Data attributes. Curious about a file … mdls filename.
mdfind -onlyin ~/Documents 'kMDItemLastUsedDate >= $time.today()'

Where does LabVIEW 2012 keep Recently-opened Files?

When you open LabVIEW 2012, the right-hand side of the Welcome Screen shows an Open Existing list. In my case, "bad" VIs and Projects (some of which no longer exist) show up. I'd like to edit this list to clear out the junk. However, it no longer is in the LabVIEW.ini file, nor does it seem to be (though I may have missed it) in my LabVIEW Data folder.
Who knows where it is?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found it! It was the LabVIEW.ini file -- either I was looking at the "wrong" one before, or somebody put something weird in my tea when I wasn't looking. Cleaning it out now ...
