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.

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?

Hi Mylenium,

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.

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.

Hi Smruti Mohanty,
First you have to delete the payment proposal in F110 what you created and deleted that one ,why because the item is stored in that proposal so we cant get that in F-44.

For that select Run date and give identification .next keep the cursor on the proposal and go to edit >Proposal>Delete ,same for parameters and payments also.
May be this information is useful to you

How to clear recently opened files

I'm using Flash Player 11, and I was wondering if I'd be able to remove the recently opened files under "file". Thanks!
(Also, not related to this question, but is there a keyboard shortcut for "close" or "exit"?)

What is your operating system & version?
Do you mean the standalone player (Projector)?

How to add "recently opened files" option in my menubar?

In MS Word & others there will be a option to retrive all the recently opened files.Where exactly these files have been stored? Can I get the code for adding this option in my menu bar?
regards,
Madhu

HI, i believe taht word stores that in the windows registery but yuo could always save it in a file. then each time your application opens or saves a document modify your file. then everytime your application starts just read that file and add the content to your recently opened files list in your menu.
Hope this helps you,
Robert

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 " view all files " history in Adobe Reader XI I have recent files set to 1 "View all files " shows all files from 22 june to current date

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

Clearing recently opened files

How does one clear an application's recently opened files when control-clicking on an application? Clicking on the mac at the top left corner and clearing recently items only clears that menu, there still remains individual menus for say, preview or quicktime, that I wish to clear and I can't seem to find a way to. Cheers.

It would be located in a directory with a path similar to the one below, replacing "ric" with your windows username.
C:\Documents and Settings\ric\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.0.22.47.32\o.ide
--Ric

If the reset doesn't work:
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost
