Hi, i am a new user of xtreme 5.1. In learning how to use the program i have made many bad graphics. How do i delete them so that when i " open recent " from the file function. Thanks for your help. It's driving me nuts--- too much clutter. Bob wise

Note that reducing the number of Files in the Recent File List doesn't actually clear them from the list. If you increase the number again in the Options, they'll be back.
BTW, I've also found that 20 is way too many for me.
they are in the registry - so you can delete them there I guess - perhaps xreg already has that in hand?

@Alison.
Not it doesn't delete them, but it reduces the 'clutter' that bothered Bob, and in the case where 20 is too many, the list can be reduced back to 9 if you wish.
@Handrawn
Bill and I have some ideas yes
FTM, it can be reduced to 1. And, yes, that does help with the clutter.
Some time back in the dark ages, I was using an app in which I could nearly "clear" the list by reducing the number of files shown, exiting the app, then entering the higher number again. Don't recall what it was, but that "feature" came in handy on occasion.
The answer is simple... try out a generous number of XaraXone's excellent tutorials and replace those "bad graphics" with some good ones
Problem solved!

But read the OP again: "It's driving me nuts--- too much clutter."
If you want to remove entries you can delete them from the Recent File List key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\XtremePro\5.1\Opti ons\Recent File List
Usual warnings apply when editing the Windows registry.
