MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008how to avoid word remember what files i opened
I don't want word / excel etc. to remember what files I opened. How do I achieve this ? Thanks! Under Tools > Options > General tab (in each application) Uncheck "Recently Used Files" -- Enjoy, Tony > I don't want word / excel etc. to remember what files I opened. > How do I achieve this ? > > Thanks! Thanks for the reply Tony! I did that. The File menu was cleared. But when I click open file and I click the File Name drop down box, it still shows all the files/directories that I had typed in previously. Is it possible to fix that too ? kumar > Under Tools > Options > General tab (in each application) > Uncheck "Recently Used Files" [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > Thanks! I'm sorry - I don't know how to do that. If it's possible I suspect it's a Windows setting. Might I ask why you want to do it? -- Enjoy, Tony > Thanks for the reply Tony! > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > > > > Thanks! Hi Tony I have the same issue as kumar. I have cleared the recently used check box on the Options/General tab, which takes them out of the file drop-down, but not from the Getting Started task pane on the right. I also clear all temp and history directories (C/Documents & Settings/user/local settings/ ... directories), as well as via the Start-Up TaskBar & settings / Advanced tab, but the recent history is still in the Getting Started pane. When I reboot, the check box in options/general is rechecking. Is there a global or registry setting that is over-riding the working settings, and any suggestions to clear the history in the Getting Started task pane would be welcome. many thanks > I'm sorry - I don't know how to do that.

Clearing the recently used files should also clear them from the Getting Started task pane. If, however, your settings are not sticking there may be several reasons - having Acrobat v7.0 installed is, perhaps, the most common cause of this  SignatureEnjoy, Tony > Hi Tony > I have the same issue as kumar.
