Clean Recently Used Projects
-
Is there a way to clean the recently used projects list. If so, please explain. It kind of irritates me to have hem on there, as in when I try a downloaded sample, they never work and end up on the list. I know you can just wait it out, but I want the list clean, so help would be appreciated. Thanks.

They're stored in the registry - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ProjectMRUList for 2008 if I remember correctly

you can also move all the projects into a different folder and then try opening them. You'll then be given the option of removing them from the list.

This project isn't in the "Projects" folder. And I can't open (not that I want to) the one I can;t get rid of. How long does a project usually stay in the list?

indefinately AFAIK. Hover your mouse over the entry and it'll tell you it's location in the status bar. Simply move the project from that location (or delete it) and then try and open it from the list. It should tell you it can't be found and ask you if you'd like to remove it from the list. Or as I suggested earlier, run regedit and delete the entry for that project.

Can you explain regedit? (I'm sorry, I'm still a beginner... Haven't done too much for a long time for real, anyway... And I've never really messed around with internal C# stuff) Where can it be found?

I just erased everything under it's file, and I try to open it and it STILL lets me open it, but it's unavailable. How do I get rid of it? Step by step instructions, please? THanks for your help, though.

Well; I just got it. I messed the name up, and it let me remove. Thanks for the help, even though it's STILL over my head.

I see you sorted it. For future reference - or anyone else that comes across this: 1. Close Visual Studio 2. Start, Run... type in regedit and hit OK 3. Open the folders/sub folders in the treeview in reg edit in this order HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft VCSExpress (// VBExpress for VB, VisualStudio for Full VS) 8.0 (// for 2005, 7.0 for 2003, 9.0 for 2008) ProjectMRUList 4. Make sure that ProjectMRUList is selected so the status bar reads in your case: My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VCSExpress\8.0\ProjectMRUList On the right will be a list of string values named File1, File2 etc with values that match the location of your Most Recently Used (MRU) projects e.g. %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Windows Application 1.sln 5. Right click on the value name and select Delete 6. Rename any higher named values so they are sequential File1, File2 etc... if there is one missing in the sequence VS will stop looking beyond the lowest one found. 7. Close regedit and relaunch Visual Studio and the project will no longer be in your list
