Removing Recent File List in Staroffice 7?

I have been asked by a user to remove the Recently used file list in Staroffice 7. I cannot seem to find where this information is stored or a built in option to Clear the List
Any Deas?
Thanks

Spot on Phil. I was looking for the wrong extension.
I have now Created a Batch file to be run as and when to remove the file and my user seems happy with that.
Thanks
Michael

  • 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!

  • '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.
    Thanks,

  • 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,
    Randy

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Recent File List on Getting Started Window

    Displays last two projects and most recent files.  As everything I do is project-based, I would like to display more than 2 or the entire list as most recent projects.  Is this possible with an ini setting?
    TIA

    Try
    MaxGSWRecentProjects=10

  • Where's the file that stores the Recent Files list? (Mac OS)

    I closed a document yesterday that I had finished after saving a PDF from a saved AI file. When I went to "Open Recent File" and selected either the AI or the PDF, it says the file cannot be found.
    I would like to take a look at the path of where Illustrator thinks the file should be so I can narrow down why the file is missing.
    I've looked in /Users/(me)/Library/Preferences and haven't found anything.
    Thank you!

    I doubt this *.plist file will be any use to you… Why don't you go outside the app and use spotlight…?
    or just comm+f

    How can I fix this problem?

  • Recent file list missing from taskbar icon

    Adobe product icons on the Windows 7 task bar (along the bottom of the screen) used to reveal, with a right click, a list of recently opened files for that program. Now, since upgrading to CS5, a right click shows only the program and the option to unpin the program from the task bar. Can anything be done about this in preferences or elsewhere? I'm striking out. Thanks in advance.

    This is a great idea. A more detailed "Call details" screen with call length would be very useful. Let Apple know this.

  • E72 Remove recent device list

    Nokia E72
    Keep getting a list of old devices (phones that have been paired before) every time I open Ovi Maps
    Have to click 'cancel' to close the pop up of recent devices before clicking 'drive' to search for destination.
    How do I remove the devices in the list or better still stop the list from popping up at all?
    Checked in my Bluetooth settings and only one device listed which is my car which doesnt appear in the list that pops up

    @buckmr2
    Welcome to the forum!
    If you go to Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings > General > scroll down off screen to Positioning > Positioning methods - have you inadvertently enabled "Bluetooth GPS" which should be disabled by default?

  • Removing items from "open a recent item" list

    Hi,
    I deleted some files in dreamweaver cs5, but they still appear in "Open a recent item",
    how can I remove them from the list?
    Thanks for any help
    David

    Windows or Mac?
    On Windows, it's a setting in the Windows registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\Recent File List
    Select each file, right-click and select Delete.
    Alternatively, just open up to 9 legitimate files in DW and let the list update itself.

  • 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.
