    Removing Previously opened document Word File Menu
    Hi,

    I'm having a question. Normally when we open a word document and select the File Menu, then we come across all previously opened (about 4) word files. Now I want to remove those existing files which show up when we start a word document. I know how to overwrite it, by opening a few other word documents. Other than this method, Is there any other method? I need to know how to do it, if there is any other way including working out using Registry.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers,
    SAI :)

    Re: Removing Previously opened document Word File
    saivstech, hi , your best and easiest method is to use a third-party cleaning utility program to clean out MS WORD cache area. The best program for this that I have tried and am using everyday is WINDOW WASHER 5.0, which I highly recommend. You can download a 30-day trial of it from www.download.com or any other download sites such as www.tucows.com or www.pcworld.com.

    Once installed, just click on the left menu column area where you will see "WASH ITEMS". In there, check marked "MICROSOFT WORD" and other cache cleaning items you like to empty.

    Once you have set up all the items you would like to empty the cache contents from, cleaning out the cache is a snap! ;D 8)

    Don't buy any of that rubbish software: here is Microsofts answer from their help menu, takes 5 second, simples...
    Show or hide the list of recently used documents on the File menu
    On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
    Select or clear the Recently used file list check box.
    When the Recently used file list check box is selected, you can specify the number of recently used files that appear on the File menu.
