How To Clear "Open Existing Projects" Listing?

1 Nov 2005 8:40 PM

Mr. B

I have VB.net 2003 and I am wondering How (if possible) can I clear out the
current listing of my OPEN AND EXISTING PROJECT list when I first start up
VB.net?

I currentl show 10 such projects. I've tried to only show 1 then change back
to 10. But, the items come back.

The reason is that I've a few instances where I've opened previously saved
versions of projects. Now I've several lines of the same project NAME, but I
have to be careful to select the correct Current version.

So I just want to whip the slate clean.

Thanks in advance.

c:\ del *.* will wipe the slate clean otherwise you've likely spent a few
thousand dollars on software that requires a registry hack you can find
documented on the web somewhere. Real quality huh? Five years on the market
and we still have to hack the registry to keep a clean implementation.

Thanks Herfried.

That's where they are for sure. Interestingly enough, currently I cannot
modify or delete any of the lines. Oh well... I'll try again next time I have
to do a reboot.

I have some luck in deleting shortcuts in the following folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Recent\Individual Projects

However, it doesn't seem to always remove the item from the start-up list.
