How do I clear the "recent" user account pictures in Mountain Lion?

How do I clear the "recent" user account pictures in Mountain Lion? A friend posted a stupid photo as one of the pictures as a joke and I cant figure out how to remove it from the recent pictures.
Thanks

To completely remove the files, from the desktop click Go>Go to Folder and type
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ImageKit.RecentPictureService/Data/Library/Images /Recent Pictures/
Then move the files you don't want to trash.
Make sure to empty trash and restart before viewing your recents again, or they will reappear.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu?

How do I clear the recently edited files in the file menu? (ie. cache)

I don't have PSEv.13, but in my current version, and in the two that I had before, the behavior is/was identical.
As far as I know, the only way to purge an entry in the list of recently edited files via the File menu, is to delete the picture file or send it to the recycle bin.
Perhaps someone will come along with additional information.
"The File option dose not have an option for FILE-MORE-PURGE CACHE. as Adobe suggested."
Where is this referenced suggestion?? On-line? In a book or manual?

How do I clear the 'recently added' playlist?

How do I clear the 'recently added' playlist?

It isn't set up that way. It is a smart playlist (right click on it to see details) which uses the "date added is last two weeks" command. You would have to change the date added on the tracks it contains to be older than two weeks, or do some other modification to the smart playlist such as only have it display items that had not been played at all. I don't know if there is an easy way to do that unless it is in Dougscripts.

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

The default user account picture is stored here.
C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
or....
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
You can also configure this by a registry setting;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
UseDefaultTile = 1
The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

DiskAid needn't cost anything depending on what you want to do - I've been using it for months without being hindered by using the free version. You do need the up to date version for use on Mountain Lion though...

That info is stored in the registry on Windows and in a file in the Library on the Mac. nothing you can erase easily, but if you are feeling adventurous, on windows you could launch regedit, then search the registry for HKEY_USERS\[your user ID numeric key]\Software\Adobe\MediaBrowser\MRU\illustrator.

Edit: Please change your user name to not represent an e-mail address it invites spam bots and may actually get you a lot of extra mail...
What is "[your user ID numeric key] " in the registry HKEY_USERS\[your user ID numeric key]\Software\Adobe\MediaBrowser\MRU\illustrator
that you mentioned above?
After I find this registry key in Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3, then how do I modify this registry key?
I am having trouble to modify my existing Adobe ID to change it to a different ID not my email address.
Please reply back soon.

How do i delete the old users account on my second hand imac g5 without the origonal disc

im new to imacs and not sure how to delete the old users account without the origonal disc

First of all, you need to make sure your current user account (the one you intend to keep) is an administrator account (not standard).
Go to System Preferences Accounts pane. Click the lock, if it's locked, and enter your authorization, to unlock.
In the sidebar, you will see the list of user accounts. To delete a user account, select it on the list and click the minus sign.

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

HT4796 how do I keep the same user account and not make a new one when transferring music?

How do I transfer files using the migration assistant and not create a new user profile? I am transferring from Win 7 to Mountain Lion and now the only way I see my music in Itunes is to flip to the new user account created. I am the only one using my mac and its a bit of a pain switching users to listen to music. Any thoughts?

Drag the iTunes folder over manually instead of using the Migration Assistant, or drag the other account's home folder to the desktop, authenticate yourself, and move the music into your main account's iTunes library.

How do I clear the recent documents screen on the android application when the clear icon is no longer visible?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software but the clear recent documents icon is no longer visible as formerly experienced.

Hi,
The 'Clear Recents' button which was provided in previous releases only *cleared* the Recent list and did not delete the files. The files stayed in your document hierarchy. This button has been removed in the latest release. For deleting the files, you can go to the Documents/Acrobat.com tab and delete the files individually. However, please note that the files will be permanently deleted from your device. Please let us know if this is not a viable option for you. We would like to hear more about your use case.
Thanks,
Mehwish

How do I Clear the Recent Catalog Box

I have a question. I was wondering if anyone knows how to clear the 'Open Recent' list in LR 3. It is located under File - Open Recent.

Turnkey,
Are you looking to have LR start with a specific catalog vs. prompting you from the list? If that is the case, you can change that option on the first page of the preferences.

How do I delete the old user accounts from my Mac?

I have a few accounts in my name on my mac which are the accounts I had on previous hard drives before upgrading them. When I upgraded I used Time Machine and it always asked to set/create a new name and account.
My question is, how do I delete the old accounts?
Not sure if the accounts are taking up space but I am about to upgrade to a SSD and would like everything as tidy as possible.
Thanks
Phil

Delete them in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

Cant restore after installing updates how do I change the home user/account

I installed 3 updates, opps, this morning, and when I restarted the computer it had reverted back to old setting from 2004. I purchased the computer from a friend, and had worked hard to remove his stuff, now my settings mail etc are gone and the old stuff is back. How do I restore the computer to what it was before the updates took it all off? also how do I change the home from his back to ours? sorry, I am new at this and very very frustrated with the mac so far.

Changing the home folder name caused the problems, not the updates. The problems won't show up until you restart, which, in your case, was just
after the updates. See:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854>
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106824>
When you get a used computer, it is safest to erase the disk (with zeroing option), then reinstall OSX, update it, and get the latest versions of all the software you need. You should also run Extended Tests from the Apple Hardware Test disc to be sure there are no hardware problems.
