I don't know of anything, except that I think they get a sort of priority
when you reduce the size of the list to anything other than zero - but doing
this does not cause the registry to be cleared so if you increase the size
of the list again, it just brings back all the ones you had before.
I don't think it would be enormously difficult to add some sort of feature
to Greg's macro but I don't have time at the moment and I suspect Greg -
game though I'm sure he'd be - would need some help to pull the flags out of
the registry.

There's something about pinning, though--perhaps that when you reset to
zero and then restore to a positive number the pinned ones come back?

That neither shows the 'pin' status of an entry, nor allows its use as a
selection criterion, because, AFAIK, the Obect Model does not provide the
information. I stand by what I first said that this can not be done
without digging in the registry.

I don't believe it is possible without reading the registry.

I use a macro to clear the recent documents list in Word 2007 as
follows:
Sub ClearMRU()
' Clears the list of most recently used documents
Dim ListSize
Application.DisplayRecentFiles = True
ListSize = Application.RecentFiles.Maximum
Application.RecentFiles.Maximum = 0
Application.RecentFiles.Maximum = ListSize
End Sub
However, what I would really like to do is only clear the list of
documents
that have not been "pinned". Does anyone know a way of clearing the
list
but
leaving the "pinned" ones on the list?
Many thanks,
Geoff
