Default Clear recent items list

Hi,

It's easy to set options to show/not show or to clear the recent items list
in Word, etc. But how do I do that in Publisher 2007, please?

Thanks,

Robert

Default Clear recent items list

I suspect it would take a registry fix. I'm not sure how many recent open
publications is the default. In the registry it appears to be 9.

Hi Mary,
Yes, it is nine. Where in the registry is that located, please?

Thanks,
Robert

Hi Mary,

Easy to find! Easy to delete recent history. I'm not seeing how I can
change the default from 9 to 0.

I don't know either, maybe Ed Bennett can figure it out. I notice the Word
registry has an entry that is linked with the Word program. When one changes the
number in Word it changes in the registry. Publisher doesn't have this option.
Publisher is a step-child.

I'll look for the Word registry entry. My guess yesterday was that a new
entry might need to be created, but on the other hand, if 9 recent items is
the default that must be listed somewhere. Controlled by Word? Maybe. I'll
try that. Thanks for all the help, Mary!!!

Word has this entry: dword named max display. That's the way Word does it.
Dont' know if that addition will override where that 9 is coming from, but
I'll try it.

Hi Mary,

I added a Dword 32 bit entry called Max Display and gave it a value of 0.
Problem solved! Thanks for the lead to solve the problem. Have a great
weekend!
