How Do I Erase Photoshop Usage Tracks?

At least with CS6 the "recently used files" are stored foolishly.

I found them in registry: HKCU\Software\Adobe\Photoshop\60.0\VisitedDirs and in file: %AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings\Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp

I don't have Photoshop installed anymore, but what I remember removing regkeys is not enough. I had to delete also the .psp (settings) file.

Only partially true to a degree.

"Documents and Settings" exists in Windows XP as a folder,

IT ALSO exists in Vista and Windows 7 as some sort of Reparse Point which provides backward compatibility for software written for XP,

which is the first version of Windows that could run for a day without a BSOD.

I guess it also exist in 8 and 8.1 but I intend never going there :)

Although ACL restrictions normally prevent Windows Explorer from showing the contents of "Documents and Settings",

those ACL restrictions may permit a batch file to access what is on the far side.

N.B.

I always knew in advance what my batch files could achieve before XP.

Since the advent of XP there has been a vast increase in the capability of a batch File,

and every batch file has the capability of creating an interesting experience for the unwary :o
