PPT2003 on XP Pro
How can I remove an entry on the "Recently used templates" section of the
New Presentation task pane?
I have an old, deleted template that continues to be displayed.
Many thanks
DeanH

Dean,
You can delete them in the registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_user - software - Microsoft - Office - 11.0 - PowerPoint - all
the recent lists are there. Double click the entry and delete the values and
click OK.
That's how I do it, but maybe someone will have a better way.

Awesome. I was sitting here thinking, "I don't think you can. Hm..." Glad I
was wrong!

can you explain specifically what
HKEY_CURRENT_user - software - Microsoft - Office - 11.0 - PowerPoint
means?

Thanks
