Odd Files in Recent Files List

We recently ran into some virus/identity theft issues on our macs.  We are a little concerned about a list of files which appeared in the 'recent files list' for excel (see attached screenshot).  The files seem to be related to emails and were located in a /volumes/date file location.
Any direction would be appreciated.

Good work, thanks!

  • How to delete duplicated m4a file in "Recently Added" List in iTues?

    I followed the instructions given by WICLEE and managed to customize my Ringtone but I couldn't delete the duplicated m4a file (after created a AAC file) from the Recently Added list where i selected the music for downloading. However, i managed to delete the m4a file from Windows Explorer and uncheck the deuplicated file when i sync onto my iPhone5 as a new Ringtone, it worked.  Can Wiclee advise how to delete the unwanted m4a file from the list?  Thanks much. 

    It will disappear from the Recently added playlist after 2 weeks.
    Or you can edit the Recently added playlist to include ONLY music.

  • 'Open Recent' files list

    The 'Open Recent' files list is too short.
    Is there a way to make it longer, e.g. for 25 or 50 files?
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure that it's a good idea but it's your wish so here is the soluce:
    set nbRecents to 30
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages NSRecentDocumentsLimit " & nbRecents
    If you want the same behavior in Numbers, use:
    set nbRecents to 30
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.iWork.Numbers NSRecentDocumentsLimit " & nbRecents
    In fact we may use that for every application with a Recent Items menu.
    I got it in a thread dedicated to the behavior of Script Editor.

  • File names not shown in Recent Files list

    On my Samsung Galaxy S3, when I access the Recent Files list, the files I have downloaded in the last few weeks mostly have names like downloaded_file-51.pdf . In the Documents List under /storage/emulated/0/Download,  the names appear correctly. Older files appear correctly in the Recent Files list.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?
    Thanks

    We are able to reproduce the issue at our end and will try to fix the issue as soon as possible.
    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

  • Recent Files List in Dreamweaver CS5.5

    Recently opened files are not being stored in the recent file list (File --> Open Recent) on my installation of Dreamweaver. Is there a setting I can enable to turn this on?
    Thank you.

    Are you using Mac or Windows?
    The recent file list is stored in the Registry on Windows. Are you having other Registry problems?
    Please provide a simple recipe for what you are doing.
    How do you open the file? There are many ways to open files in DW.
    What kind of is it? html? js? css? php?
    Are you in code view? design view? live view?
    What do you do while you're there?
    How do you close the fille?
    How many other files do you have open?
    HTH,

  • Delete files in Open Recent Files list - CS3

    Is it possible to delete single files in the "Open Recent Files" list
    or specify how many recently opened files are be shown?
    I am using CS3 (5.0.3).
    Thanks

    No and no, although Adobe themself doesn't seem to have any problems with this -- every single update kills the list (to my chagrin).
    Can't imagine any bona fide reason you'd want to. It's not like it's meant as sort of kind of Document organizing feature, as if.

  • Recent files list is not updating after 10.1.13

    Recent files list is not updating after 10.1.13 update unless I open the file via the Network in Windows Explorer.   If I open a file by accessing the file via a drive listed under Computer, the recent files list does not update.  The recent files list updates only if I open the file from the same drive listed under Network.

  • TextEdit's "Open Recent" menu command: how to increase # of files listed?

    In TextEdit (v. 1.6, in OS 10.6.5), under the "File" menu, there is a command called "Open Recent >" which when chosen lists the ten most recently opened TextEdit files. Select one from the list, and it re-opens.
    I find this functionality very useful, but I also wish that more than just ten recent files were listed. I would much prefer 15, 20, even 25 recent files in the list.
    Is there any way to increase the number of "recent" files listed under "File>Open Recent>..." in TextEdit?
    There doesn't seem to be any option for changing the default number in TextEdit's "Preferences."
    Other applications also have a similar functionality, and in some cases the default is more than ten, in some cases less. But a few other applications give the user the ability to alter the number of files listed. Yet not all. So, my second question is: Is there a universal way to alter the number of "recent" files listed in:
    • All Apple applications
    • All third-party applications
    • The Finder?
    Mostly I'm interested in solving the TextEdit problem, but I might as well ask this secondary question while I'm at it.

    Sweet! That was easy.
    I knew there must be some way to adjust the setting somewhere, but it never occurred to me to look under the "Appearance" system preference pane. Strange place to hide it!
    Recommendation to Apple: Allow each application to set its own # of "recent" items," and *place the option in that application's own "preferences" menu*. Much more logical there!
    In any case: Problem now marked as "solved"! Thanks.

  • 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!

  • Most Recent Used File List in Menus

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to create List of most recent used files and display it in the main menu?
    Has anyone done that?
    Currently, I am opening one file at the time and I have the last
    path of opened file.
    thanx !

    Offhand, you'll have to do it the hard way. I don't think Swing or Awt provide a default JMenuItem(), MenuItem() that does the file list. Now that you mention it, it does seem like an interesting project to do.
    You essentially need an array of the files, and for each file, create the associated menu entry, as in:
    String entryName = files[ i ];
    if ( entryName.length > 10 ) {
       entryName = entryName.subString( 0, 10 );
    JMenuItem entry = new JMenuItem( i + ". " + entryName );
    ...and define the event listeners however appropriate for your application.

  • 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.

  • After successful install, I am unable to use RoboHelp 7 because of constant refresh of file lists

    RoboHELP 7 installed on Windows XP
    Our enterprise support team installed RH7 on my new laptop via our corporate intranet.  I received an e-mail message reporting that the install failed so I contacted the support team, someone logged on to my machine by remote and did an uninstall of RH7.  Then, the install was done again and the same failure message was received.  Then, RH was uninstalled and the install was attempted for the third time.  Again, I received the failure message.  I had noticed that after each install the icons appeared on my desktop.  So, after this third install, I went ahead and clicked the RH7 HTML icon and the program seemed to start properly.  I have a key number from our enterprise team and I entered the key number to complete the registration.  The UI appeared and I selected my recent project.  RH built the file lists that I expected to see in the left panes of the interface but the file lists kept "twitching" and the cursor kept changing to the hourglass and back.  This happened about once every two or three seconds and I could not move my cursor fast enough to select a file.
    One of my co-workers suggested that I uninstall RH7 myself, check the registry and erase any robohelp entries.  I know this is risky but I am confident I can do it.  However, I would like to hear from any RH experts about how to solve this "twitching" problem, if there are other possible solutions.  Thanks.

    My gut feel is that if your organisation is large enough to have an Enterprise license, IT would not take too kindly to you uninstalling the product yourself and editing the registry. That's your issue though.
    If they are happy, then you could try www.revouninstaller.com with which a number of people have reported good results if you use the stronger options to clear the registry. Again at your risk and responsibility.
    You might also like to look at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/before_install.html. It includes the script IT should be using. Maybe that should be checked as well.
    The other approach is to get them to do a direct install. Worth trying given the issues you are having.
