How do I remove a "read only file" from word?

[Bunky3865]

I'm using window XP and some an internet file/ short cut appeasred on my most
recent list of word items. I need to remove the short cut and the text,
however it is a read only file? Please help!

If you want to delete all recent file list entries then set tools > options

general > recently used files to 0, confirm the change, then change it

back to the number it was previously.

If you want to selectively delete, then it gets altogether more complicated,
but friend and fellow MVP Greg Maxey has done all the work - see
