Delete from recent docs list and it no longer holds 15 items
In Windows 98, I've noticed that if I delete an item from the recent
docs list (start : documents : right click on item and select delete), the item goes away (good), but then the maximum number of files in the recent docs list is decreased by one (bad). That is, when I open another document, instead of just adding a shortcut to that document to the list, to bring it up from 14 items to 15, it adds the shortcut and drops the oldest shortcut from the list, keeping it as a list of 14 items. In the past, I've seen my recent docs list decrease in size one by one if I've deleted items from it, until there were just a couple entries. They only fix seems to have been to manually emply c:\windows\recent and then it manually rebuilds itself back up to 15. Is there a better and faster way to keep my docs list at 15, even if I delete from it? |

Delete from recent docs list and it no longer holds 15 items
No need to manually empty the Recent folder.
Right-click a blank spot on the Taskbar, click Properties Start Menu Programs tab, and under Documents Menu, click the Clear button. This will clear the menu and reset it to 15 entries. If you manually delete individual items from the menu, the maximum will be reduced by one, until the entire menu is cleared and thereby reset. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "jersie0" wrote in message ...
