I need to delete the history that is in Access 2002. If you open a new
database, it will display on the right hand site as a recently opened file. I
do not want this to be displayed at all. Ive tried to delete the database
that was created but it still shows the recently accessed files. Anyone got
any ideas?
 
In TOOLS - Options - General uncheck the box for
Recently used file list:

This set the list quanity to zero

Try CCleaner

You might also be able to set the displayed number to 0

Set the number of files shown in the list of recently used files
When you start Microsoft Access, when you click New on the File menu, or
when you click File on the menu bar, a list of the most recently used files
appears. You can click a file name in this list to open the file with the
same option settings it had the last time you opened it. You can also change
the number of file names that appear on the list of recently used files.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the General tab, do one of the following:
To prevent any files from appearing in the list, clear the Recently used
file list check box.
To change the number of files that appear in the list, make sure the
Recently used file list check box is selected, and then, in the box to its
right, select the number of files you want in the list. By default, four
files appear in the recently used file list, but you can set the list to
contain as many as nine files.
 
To keep access from recalling past databases go to the options menu and under
the general tab deselect 'Recently used file list:'

this will keep access from recalling databases you have opened in the past.
Also if you want to get rid of the task pane all together you can select the
view tab (which is right next to teh general tab) and deselect 'Startup Task
Pane'.

Hope this work for you.
