How to clean up the list of recent files in the Getting Started Window?

The pinned/not pinned distinction for projects appearing in the getting stared window (GSW) is a bit moot if like me you are working on only a few projects.
What I find particularly distracting is projects popping up in this list if, say, I check out some examples, or temporarily load a project from an alternate location, etc.
I want to remove those from the list right away, but as simple as the request sounds, I could not figure out how to do that elegantly.
Pinning/Unpinning doesn't work, there is no "Clear recent file/project list" in the corresponding LV menus and the only way I can think of doing that is by editing the ini file.
Am I missing something?

This has been one of those majorly annoying things I have screamed about for a long time. And when they created the "new" GSW with the pinned projects and recent files, I was so hoping they would just add a simple right-click menu to remove an item from the list. But no. It didn't happen.
Here are a couple of Idea Exchange entries I found with a really quick search:
Exclude Examples from RECENT FILES and RECENT PROJECTS
Menu selections to clear history of recent files and/or projects (wow, only 3 kudos so far!)

How do I print a list of sent files for this year?

Hi lasersrq,
What a great question! There is no functionality that allows you to print a list the files you've sent via Adobe Send (or SendNow).
Please feel free to submit a feature request--it's a good idea! https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en

Hi @Justriden
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, this post has instructions.

Hello,
You can schedule an operating system task (Control Panel -> Schedule task) to either call a batch file or a PowerShell script.
Please read the following resources for examples:

Missing list of recent files

The list of recent files does not appear in Thunderbird when I want to add an attachment when sending an e-mail. As a result I have to search through my directories, which is time consuming as I have many with multiple sub-directories. I am using Windows 7 and thunderbird v.17.0.3, released: February 19, 2013. On my other laptop, which is running XP the recent document list appears no problem.

Your asking questions about Windows and it's recent file list in a Thunderbird forum and apparently think someone should send you some sort of recent information on a Thunderbird feature that does not and never has existed.
It did and apparently still does in Windows. Thank you Mr Howes, I was unaware it could be resurrected. When enabled in Explorer I assume appears as a folder in your file picker. I have no idea because I do not use it, but there is no point getting upset with the people here for explaining your looking for a windows feature.

HT204053 How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone? Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't

How to I get music I purchased before the iCloud was created to show up on my new authorized iPhone? Right now I can only see the Apps I recently purchased on the actual phone but older music I purchased on my CPU using the same Apple ID doesn't appear.

Does any music show in the Purchased tab on the iTunes store app on your phone ? Music can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where it can be it will only appear whilst it remains in the store. Do you have your purchases on your computer and/or on a backup of your puchases so that you can sync them to your phone ?

How can I remove items from the open a recent file menue.

How can I remove items from the "Open a Recent File" menue. Many other applications allow the clearing of that file . Is this possible in Adobe Reader 10.1.2 ? If so how?

It is for Acrobat, but the registry entries are similar for Reader.

How can I find out the list of users who has the access to IT 0008

All,
How can I find out the list of users who has the W R permission for IT 008
for others?
SUIM doe not look like giving me the correct results.
Please advise.
Thanks,
From
PT.

combine tables AGR_1251 and table AGR_Users on keyfield AGR_USERS
in tabel AGR_1251 select on Field LOW values IT0008.OR W OR R,
noiw you get also other values
So better solution run the query twice over AGR1251 first on IT0008 and secondly on values W OR R and then the result over table AGR_USERS
Youu also might put an additional selection on object P* (only selecting HR objects)
output wll be UID in table AGR_USERS

How to get the list of database Views modifying the DB tools list tables.vi

Hi,
I have a problem, I just started using LabVIEW and in particular the LabVIEW connectivity toolkit and I am lookig fgor suggestion regarding how to get the list of database Views modifying the DB tools list tables.vi...
Thanks in advance,
Michela

Hi Michela,
since the VI you want to modify is part of a Toolkit, I suggest you to copy the whole block diagram in a new VI and then save it in a new location.
Place the DB List Tables.vi on a block diagram, double click on it and go to the tab "Window -> Show Block Diagram "
Select "Edit -> Select All" to select the whole block diagram and select "Edit -> Copy"
Open a new VI and select "Edit -> Paste"
Save the new VI
In this way you can modify everything you want without overwriting the Toolkits VIs.
Hope this can help.

Retake the photos. They are no longer on your device.

Ever since the last update I can't seem to open up the list of ''Recently Closed Windows'', is there anybody that can help me with that?

Yesterday my Firefox browser was updated without me even noticing it. I closed the only 2 windows that were open, both having a bunch of tabs, because I turned off my PC. Today I opened up Firefox, clicked ''Restore previous session'' which opened up one of these 2 windows. But when I wanted to access the list of ''Recently Closed Windows'' it didn't open. It only shows a small square as if it's there, but it doesn't show anything. I can open up ''Recently Closed Tabs'' but that doesn't help me. I now only have 1 window, but the other one had some important tabs opened in it as well, so I could really use some help.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear about this problem and for the delay in getting back to you.
Firefox stores your open windows and tabs in a file named sessionstore.js in your currently active settings folder. Could you check that folder and back up all of the sessionstore files as the first step.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
If you find a file named sessionstore but not sessionstore.js, Windows may be hiding file extensions from you. To work with files as accurately as possible, I suggest unhiding them. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
''(In Windows 8.1, you should be able to access the Folder Options dialog by tapping the Alt key to show the menu bar, then using the Tools menu. Click to the View menu and scan down for the hidden files/folders option.)''
Assuming you still have a sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file that would have your pre-update session, check out these threads for different ways to rescue the lost URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:
