Deleting the history of opened files in Open-window
How can I clear the history of previously opened files that appears by
clicking the down-arrow next to the File Name -box? Where does Windows store this information? I have Windows XP Home Edition. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Deleting the history of opened files in Open-window
If you are talking about MS word, there is under OPTIONS -GENERAL tab a
"recently used files" entry. Adjust this. Windows does not generate these lists - the software you are using does.

Deleting the history of opened files in Open-window
Further.....
Some software allows you to configure this through options e.g Word. Some can not be configured and are stored in the ini file. Some are stored in the registry. Unless there is a control option in the program, you can not prevent this history list from filling and appearing. However, see "How to edit Windows registry to clear the list of most recently used files in Office 2003.
