Office 2007 Recent Files Deletion

[Brent Little]

I have Vista Business, and run Office 2007. I would like to clean all of the Office 2007 Products except Word, as I like to retain the 50 most recent files. Does anyone know where the folder is located that holds the recent files for Word so I can exclude that folder from deletion?

 

Suggestion:

Could the programers for CCleaner add individual check boxes for each Office 2007 Product instead of just that one for them all?

 

Thanks

Ran into a snag. I followed your instructions and put the "Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\File MRU" into the exclusion registry box under HKCU but the OK button remains grayed out. I can't finish the action. I followed the directions carefully, so I don't know what's wrong.

 

Thanks

Moderators can you get word to the developers on this? this is true also for me (see attached)

 

The OK button returns after deleting certain parts of the string (in this case of this string if you delete everything starting from \12.0). at first I thought it was the presence of numbers but then I tried this string \Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0

 

The Ok button returned when I deleted so that it looked like \Software\Adobe\Acrobat

also it is NOT the presence of spaces as \Software\Adobe\Acrobatr also grays the OK button

something is off and strange.

Done.

Hi,

 

It'll remain greyed out if the registry key doesn't exist. So you need to run Word, open a file, then exit.

This will recreate the reg key allowing you to enter the key and save it.

 

Hope this helps

You can also manually add them into CCleaner.ini if you know what you're doing, just search the forums for it.

Awesome that fixed it. Just opening a Word Doc did the trick. Thanks to everyone.
