How to clear the recent SAVE locations menu

When I save a new document, a menu of locations appears where I have recently saved other documents. How can I clear this menu? Clearing the Recent Items menu doesn't do it.
I must have inadvertently saved a file to my backup drive once, because the backup folder appears in the menu in addition to the one on my hard drive, and it's impossible to tell these folders apart at a glance — I have to follow the path back. If I inadvertently save a new doc to the backup, it gets wiped out when the automatic backup kicks in. So I need to clear this menu and start over.
(I listed my OS as Tiger, but I see it appears under the Snow Leopard discussion — don't know how to change this. Sorry.)

Use a tool such as the Property List Editor or TextWrangler to check that application's plist file.

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 Recent Catalog Box

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.

delete single message or delete entire thread?
Single message: open messages, then open the thread, then press and hold on the message that you want to delete.
Entire thread: Open messages, then press and hold on the thread you want to delete.
When you go through text message and you click on button to bring up Roller Top Chain contacts, there is couple choices (groups, contacts, favorites & logs) you can choose. Under logs, how to you delete the information in logs section????? It appears to only go back a few days, but can't find option to erase logs.

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

How do I clear the Screen Saver?

How do I clear the Screen Saver from showing the photos on my phone?

You must have set it to use your photo stream as the screensaver. You can go into settings - screensaver to change to a different source.

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 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.

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

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,

SBS 2011 GPO for changing the default save location for Word/Excel 2013 not working

So this is a strange one. I've got an SBS 2011 server that's the only domain controller in the org. I've created a GPO to change the default save location for Excel 2013 and Word 2013 using the Office 2013 ADMX files which were installed to the PolicyDefinitions
folder.
The GPO (U-Office2013 Default Save Location) only contains:
1. User Configuration - Microsoft Excel 2013/Excel Options/Save - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
2. User Configuration - Microsoft Word 2013/Word Options/Advanced/File Locations - Default file location - Enabled - Z:\
The GPO is linked at the OU that contains my users for my SBS organization.
When I do a gpupdate /force on a windows 7 system with office2013 installed, and then run a gpresult/rsop, the policy appears to be applied successfully as it lists my GPO under the Applied GPOs list on the workstation:
Applied GPOs
Default Domain Policy dyndns.local AD (24), Sysvol (24)
U-Office2013 Default Save Location domain.local/SBSusers AD (6), Sysvol (6)
In the gpresult report, the applied settings appear under:
Administrative Templates
Extra Registry Settings
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\excel\options\defaultpath Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\word\options\doc-path Z:\ U-Office2013 Default Save Location
BUT, when I go to the workstation, and check office->options-Save-default file path, the path has not been changed to what the GPO is pushing.
The strange thing is that in my test environment running 2008R2 server and Win7 with Office 2013 and identical settings the default save location is applied and works as expected.
Any ideas?
I've already tried re-installing the ADMX templates and re-created the GPO's several times.
I should also note that other GPO's on the SBS2011 server such as the folder redirection GPO work as expected on the same windows 7 system. It just appears to be an issue with the default save location in office2013 and other Office 2013 related GPOs which
utilize the recently added ADMX template that don't seem to be working for me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried several different user accounts (all have local admin privileges to the workstation) with the same issue. The default save path does not get applied from the GPO to any of the users i've tried. Here's the steps I took
per your suggestion:
1. log on as a user who has never logged onto the workstation before.
2. run gpupdate /force (entered y for yes when prompted to log off).
3. Log back in as the user and open Office and check the default save path. It has not been changed to match the GPO setting.
4. Check rsop to see if the policy was applied. Rsop states the gpo was applied successfully.
I have attached the gpsvc.log file from a the session described above. The GPO Guid in question is: {DC3C93EC-7C28-48E9-BA38-FCA1E275A207}. Its common name is: U-Word 2013 Default Save Location. It's only setting is:
Policies\Administrative Templates\Policy definitions(admx files retrieved from central store\Microsoft Word 2013\Word Options\Advanced\File Locations\Default File Location = Enabled\Documents = F:\

Changing the Default Save location in Cap4

I know its possible to change the publish folder (Edit > Preferences) but what about the default Save location? Any clue how to change that from My Documents?

Hi again
Ouch! Not the network!
One of the hard learned issues that folks are unaware of until they encounter problems is that Captivate does not do well when a project is stored on a network. It's fine to keep projects there in order to back them up or as a transfer pivot location to allow others to edit, but you never want to open Captivate, click File > Open and browse to a network location to open a project for editing.
Best practice at this point is to keep projects on your local C drive when you make edits.
Cheers... Rick
