golfertel - Why do you want to do this? Just curious.
Hi Because the list is very long after experimenting with various sites, and I now only cover two sites.Quote:

You probably need to set FileList Size to 0 and keep that and (Default), deleting the others.
If I was doing it, I would also Export the Key; others advocate backing up the entire Registry.

I am not sure if this would do the trick but it might be easier than editing the Registry.
Gary, that is ensuring you retain no Backups of your work! Backups are nothing to do with File > Open recent documents listed other than a convenient list to hang off.Quote:

Backups are essential and I would never advise anyone to disable backups.
Gary, thank you for persisting.
The "correct" method was there all along: Options > General > General Options: set the recent files to 2 to fit the OP's request.
acorn
are you working in an environment where you work off a usb drive and you share the account?
if so you may not want to leave backups and recent file info on the computer.... especially backups....
Thanks Acorn. It does not clear list but it satisfies the way I'm working. Many thanks, I like simple answers.

I had the same question in another thread. Limiting the recent list, Page Options --> General --> Recent Files list only changes what is seen, it doesn't clear the list. I had already tried that. The problem is that when you set it back to 20 you have the same list showing. Am starting a new project so would like to clear the list and just see the new web files I'm working on or experimenting with. Sounds like it may be a registry thing which I will pass on, was hoping there was just a file that could be edited with a text editor. Oh well...
to clear it completely you do need to delete the entries held in the registry as in post #2 [acorn] I think
