You can remove the links by openning up the recent files folder and deleting the links. To clear the My Recent Documents list, follow these steps: 1. Right-click Start, and then click Properties. Or, if the Start menu is already displayed, right-click an empty area of the Start menu, and then click Properties. 2. Click Customize. 3. Click the Advanced tab. 4. Under Recent documents, click Clear List, click OK, and then click OK. Your most recently used documents are removed from the My Recent Documents folder. Note that this action does not delete the documents from your hard disk. Brad http://www.pcast.com |

Excel 2007's MRU list is kept in the registry he
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\E xcel\File MRU You can easily delete them all but picking among them is tedious (with REGEDIT). Someone should write a script to do that! -- Jim "GPS" wrote in message ... |I deleted all old files from my documents folder but all still shows up at | Recent Documents when opening Excel.
