How to delete file path stored in open file?
Hello all,
When I tried to open a file, I saw that the path of the recently opened file is saved in the open file dialogue box. I have already set the "Show this number of Recent Documents" to zero in Word Options. Please help! Many thanks! |

How to delete file path stored in open file?
Windows stores all kinds of data about the files you open, some of it in
files, much of it in the registry. The list in the file open dialog box is stored in the registry at My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Offi ce\11.0\Common\Open Find\Microsoft Office Word\Settings\Save As\File Name MRU and that in the file save-as dialog box at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\Open Find\Microsoft Office Word\Settings\Save As\File Name MRU Both settings are shown for Word 2003 (Word 11.0) The setting you have zeroed is for the list at the bottom of the file menu. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Colada wrote: Hello all, When I tried to open a file, I saw that the path of the recently opened file is saved in the open file dialogue box.

How to delete file path stored in open file?
Hi Graham,
Thanks for the reply. However, is there a simplier way to take care of the problem? I am not comfortable deleting the registry myself. BTW, I am using Word 2007.

How to delete file path stored in open file?
Is there any other way to take care of the problem without going into the
registry? I am not too familiar with the registry business, so don't want to mess it up.

If you are not comfortable editing the registry, leave it alone.

I can't find the path of the registry. Vista and 2007 are so much different
than 2000. Please help.
