Clearing the "Recent Projects" list

Hi,

In VS2003 I am able to clear the recent projects and recent files lists by
editing the registry (although it seems that there should be a better way).
However, when I look in the registry for similar lists for VS C# 2005
Express, I find no similar entries. So, how do I clear these lists, or at
least, where is this information kept? All I can find is info on clearing
the Intellisense history.

Thanks,
Ray
 
Hi,

Maybe is not the best way, but what if you set in Tools/Options/General/
Recent Files 0, then close the IDE and open it again. It should clear the
list, you could then move it back to your desired count.

The best way I have found to do that is to move everything to a
temporary folder, then try to open each project. When it tells you it
cannot find it it then asks if you want to remove it from the list. I
just go through the list and remove each one. Then, move all of my
projects back from the temp folder.
