Depends on where the list is. To delete lists on the Start menu or in the
History, you may have to delete a Registry key. To delete the list on the File menu (which is replicated in the Getting Started task pane), you can clear the check box for "Recently used file list" on the General tab of Tools | Options. To delete specific files (rather than the entire list), press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen and then click on the filename to be removed. Use this shortcut with care, as it will delete *any* menu entry you click on. -- Suzanne S.
