[QUOTE="donetao, post: 261563, member: 27614"] Hi here's how to reset the files in WordPad. These are files that you no longer have but still show up in Wordpad, and you just want to get rid of them. I added it here in stead of making another thread.;) I hate it when I open Wordpad and the files show up, but they are no longer there.:mad: To Delete Specific "Recent documents" in WordPad [B]1.[/B] In the Start Menu, type [B]regedit[/B] in the search box and press Enter. [B]2.[/B] If prompted by UAC, then click on [B]Yes[/B]. [B]NOTE:[/B] [I]Standard users will not be prompted for this[/I]. [B]3.[/B] In regedit, navigate to the location below. Code: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Wordpad\Recent File List [URL='http://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/191887d1325883324-wordpad-delete-recent-documents-list-windows-7-reg-1.jpg'][IMG]http://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/191887d1379306143t-wordpad-delete-recent-documents-list-windows-7-reg-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [B]4.[/B] In the right pane of [B]Recent File List[/B], look for a listed [B]File#[/B] string value that has the recent document path that you wanted to delete. When found, right click on the [B]File#[/B] (ex: File1), and click on [B]Delete[/B]. (see screenshot above) [B]5.[/B] Click on [B]Yes[/B] to approve deleting it. [INDENT] [B]6.[/B] Repeat steps 4 and 5 if you would like to delete any other "Recent documents" from the list in WordPad. [B]7.[/B] When finished, close regedit. [B]8.[/B] If WordPad is open, then close and reopen it to apply. Works for me;) [COLOR=#ff0000]PS always make a restore point before messing around in the registry.
