How 2 delete the numbered list of docs/files under "file" on menu

[Guest]

I can't figure out how to do this - if it can be done. In this case, it is in
Wordpad. This is the list of docs or files that shows up under the print
section and before send.... . I don't want or need them, and I want to clear
them. Two of them won't open anyway. There's an "unknown error" occurred
while accessing (I think they were temporary files that were deleted). To
what number does this list build up to? I have Windows XP-Home.

Thank you, thank you ....
I know I'm a newbie.

You have to modify the Registry Keys. Do it carefully.

1. Click Start - Run - type REGEDIT and press enter key.
2. Expand to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\APPLETS\WORDPAD\RECENT FILE LIST

3. Delete the entries from Right-Side pane display as File 1, File 2 etc.

Note that you also have to delete the same entry from HKEY_USERS\Your User
SID\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Wordpad. I will suggest
you to make a search for "Recent File List" and delete the entries for
Wordpad only.

Hope this help, let us know!

A Tip for You:
----------------
You can search the registry by pressing F3 and type "Recent File List"
without quotes and press Enter. Carefully you can delete the Recent File
History for other programs to.

How about a "Single Key" as a shortcut? No combination like CTRL, ALT, and
SHIFT required.

Use your Num Pad keys while defining a shortcut.
