| 486869 | 2006-09-23 23:29:00 | I don't want my list of 'Recent Documents' to show. I've removed it from view from the Start Menu, no problem. But then I open up Word, go to File>Open, and there's an option to open from 'My Recent Documents', and it's the list that I want to hide! Can I remove this view from the Word>Open dialog box? Note: I don't want to clear the history, that's easy enough, I want the history to be hidden in the first place. Any suggestions appreciated. Word 2003, XP Home sp2 |

Click "Advanced" tab in the pop-up and remove the tick for Recent Documents. Check this screenshot -> imagef1.net.nz if you are still confused as to what was I saying. Cheers :) |

If you're trying to hide them, whats the point in ticking the option in the first place? You cant have the option ticked and hide them (which would be when u clear them), at the same time . |

| 486873 | 2006-09-24 02:03:00 | Thanks zqwerty, mru-blaster with settings checked for the Microsoft Office MRUs has done exactly what I wanted. :thumbs: | colmack (2939) | ||
| 486874 | 2006-09-24 08:23:00 | Spybot Search and Destroy will also allow you to remove your MRU lists, albiet a fair bit slower than mru-blaster, but will also clean your system of other debris | Paul.Cov (425) | ||
| 486875 | 2006-09-24 12:07:00 | There is also a good program called Cleanup! - the default settings aren't right for most people, but they are quick & easy to change (by default, it searches your whole hard drive for temp files) Edit: I have been using an old version. just got the new version & it doesn't scan the whole drive by default anymore. |
